Hi all,
Long story short, my bike has been in storage since October of last year. I would like to take it out now that I'm back home (I spent most of the past year on the coast opposite of my home state). It has been on a battery tender, and had a full tank of gas with fuel stabilizer when I left.
Is the old gasoline going to cause problems? The battery is good, the bike starts right up. The oil was changed last September and I only took the bike out a few times after that, do I need to change the oil again now or should it still be ok? Anything else I need to do aside from adjusting and cleaning the chain?
The bike is a 2006 black/red 650R and was sheltered the entire time (not in a garage but not exposed to the elements aside from cold).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
