Never left a bike so long

[rayjay]

Hi Guy's
The Rocket has been sitting in the garage since mid august and prior to me parking it up..it had a full service and about 400miles of use after the service wasn't expecting
to park it up for so long
The battery is in the house on a optimate tender and is good to go
What would you guy's do..i guess i should add fresh fuel to the tank and a 12 min tune
Would you change the oil and what about the coolant would you change that
Is there anything i need to do or should she be ok
Never left a bike for this length of time before
Thanks guy's

I don't think you need to do the 12 minute tune and your gas is probably okay as well, just fill 'er up, put the battery back in and start 'er up and ride...weather permitting.

That's six months. Don't like to think of leaving our Beast for six hours--much less six months.

However, what Molinoman said: Put in some fresh fuel, hook up the batt, and fire that monster up. Doubt anything special is needed.

We trudge on.

I agree,
nothing needed, maybe a bottle of "sea foam" or some other stabilizer,
then RIDE that sumbeech
You got some catchin up to do...

You DEFINITELY need to check the air in the tires. I absolutely guarantee that they lost air, from sitting so long.

You might have to talk to her first. Thats too long without some TLC.

Tire check only, i have 4 bikes and that is a common thing for me

yes the consensus is check your tires for pressure and condition of the rubber just a look to see if a crack developed in the rubber and warm up the tires slowly when you ride her out . and send me a coupon for a beer

Take her to a place with inferior bikes, and let her remember who she is.

Just don't bathe her and take her around Victory bikes
