Going away - storage prep

[swearbear9r]

Mate

After i crashed the 9 , the bike sat in my garage for more than six months , with no oil and same fuel from the day I crashed it
I couldnt start it cause it had no left side engine case, but when i managed to pick up an engine case I just put some cheap
oil in it so as to flush any shit out and then dump the cheap oil for good stuff, charged the battery and turned the key and it kicked
over the first time .
It was a little fluffy at first but a few good strong revs soon sorted that out.
As for stale fuel I didnt have an issue at all.

I tend to agree with Gos , 12months + would justify proper storage action with your bike.

Mate that coz its a 9 ..... got to love the nine can do anything lol

.....Ill ride your bike around for you ......

Yes - an offer that should be taken up ! In all the talk about fuel, I forgot the most important thing - the air in the tyres needs to be rotated regularly, otherwise the stale air trapped on the bottom of the tyre will absorb all the emissions from the concrete the bike is stored on, and become extremely heavy - thus putting the balance of the wheel out. Regular rotation of the air in the tyres prevents this condition.

Perhaps I should be investing in a rolling road then ?

Yeah mate

They are a great all rounder , with plenty of grunt
wish mine was still on the road but have the zx10r now and love
it just as much if not more.
Every time i get on the 10r it just puts a massive smile on my face
