Default My first bike!

Last night I picked up my first bike: a 2000 zx6r. It currently does not run as the previous owner left gas in the tank from last summer with no stabilizer. So I am venturing a guess that the carbs are all gunked up.
Here are a couple pictures.

I would check the battery before touching anything else.

Nice bike except ditch the 8.
