ok first the motor was seized when i bought it what are the chances it seized from sitting? that the reason i was givin but from the looks of the bike im guessing wheelies or something similar. most likely iwill rebuild but not sure where to get any upgrade parts for this bike.

Re: just bought an f3 have somequestions

It won't sieze from sitting. It may freeze up a bit from rust, but squirting some oil or penetrating lube down each cylinder will allow you to turn it over.
Pull the plugs, give each cylinder a shot, then crank the engine over by hand.

Get a factory manual.

As for engine upgrades, they are going to be harder to come by these days, but you could always give a call to either Kyle Racing or Erion Racing. They both have tons of experience with those engines and may be able to point you in the right direction for parts.

Sounds like a lot of work if that motor won't turn on. I hope you got that bike for little or nothing otherwise might not be worth it.
