[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 92874, member: 161"] Dear Steve, You will get lots advice varying from doing a complete strip down to just put petrol in and kick it up. Somewhere in between might be best. Ask the previous owner when it was last run and what work was done in the recent past. Unless there was anything obviously wrong I would do an oil change, check that tyres and brakes worked and if it runs do a tentative start and run around the yard. You can then assess what might need doing. Ask yourself what you expect from the bike and is it going to be a rider or a poser. If it is going to be a rider don't leave it too long as life is too short to be missing out on the good things. [/QUOTE]
