Starting and tuning R3 after 3 years of storage

Hello East Texas! Thanks much. Should I be concerned about anything beyond the fuel tank?

You may be able to get Chevron techron in uk. Good fuel system cleaner.

I’ve been following this thread with much interest. I think most people on the forum would vouch for the sincere concern and affection I have for my fellow man.
In that spirit and out of concern for your safety, I strongly recommend you ship the bike to me before attempting to start it.
You may not be aware of the several dozen YouTube videos showing Rocket motorcycles exploding when owners attempted to recommission them into service.
Apparently this condition is only present in Rockets that have sat idle for three years or more.
I recommend that you step away from the bike, arrange shipment, and await further instructions. I promise I will ensure your bike is safe before returning it. Shouldn’t take more than a few years to make the bike safe again.
Let me know when you’re ready for my address.
