Laid Up for 2/3 Years

Post by swindo221991 »

Hi All,

My 1999 L9 Zxr has been laid up for quite a few years now and I want to get it back on the road.

Im going to give it a full service (or potientially get a garage to do it), but is there anything in particular that needs looking at/ checking/ changing?

Thanks

Pete

Tyres could be dozed and cracked

I'd be checking the condition of the chain too

Throttle action needs checking....................... what fun when it sticks

is the clutch lifting correctly ?

Horn lights, indicators, brake lights all working ?

fuel filters clean ?




And before i rode it I'd be making very sure that the brakes are fully functioning


So many things to remember
