Title: How to get up and running again
Post by: BobJizze on June 29, 2005, 06:02:00 PM
My bike has been sitting outside under a cover for the past 2 months, what do i have to replace to get it back up and running again. I had the battery recharged and got some oil, what else do i need. Thanks! =)

Did you put fuel stabilizer in the tank prior to it sitting?

"Gas Rots" to quote the online M/C repair course dude.  :)
