XT600E standing for 6 years
Hi All,
My XT has been gathering dust for 6 years and now its time to bring her back to life. Please could someone point me in the direction of a thread on this topic or give some advice.
Bike was serviced and all parts basically new prior to neglect.
- Tyres: Do I need to replace the inner tubes ?
- Replace battery: I presume after this period the battery is finished.
- Petrol tank was drained, carb probably not, may have been run dry prior to storage.
- Engine Oil was new. Does the oil degenerate with time? Do I need to replace the oil, if so, can/ should I run the bike to warm the oil prior to draining ?
- Chain. Re-oil, can I expect any issues with the chain. The chain has an orange appearance, hopefully superficial only ?
Anything else that may be a consideration ?
Thanks
