Lunatic and other gurus come in please (getting my 12scg back on the road)
Hey all,
Been a while since I've been on (not that I posted much when I did frequent) and now I'd like to ask for a little help... Ok, hang on while I put my flame suit on....
Alright, here's the sitrep; I have an '09 12scg with about 25k on the clock, fairly well maintained and was running pretty damn good when life got in the way and it wound up sitting in the garage (getting started occasionally). Fast forward about a year and a half (maybe a shave longer), my daughter is buying her first bike this Friday (found a great deal on an '03 SV650 w/ 7400 on the clock) and wants dad to go riding with her :eagerness: so I need to get my baby (bike, not daughter) up and running. I'm not a mechanic but can muddle through most anything, already know I need a new battery, brake pads (I'll PM you Lunatic), plugs and fluid change but what else would you all suggest I do/check for a bike that has been sitting a while? Your input is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! Thanks.
Jim
