my poor neglected bike
this is my first bike and for one reason or another my bike is currently stored with a full tank of gas at my fathers house where i cant get to it, i havent been able to start it in about 6weeks? any ideas on what damage could happen or how much id have to shell out once riding season comes back again to get her running? it doesnt have any mechanical problems currently? anything i can do in the meantime, im going there this weekend. thanks in advance

You'd probably have to get new fuel in and put some stabilizer in it (which would require draining the tank so why bother refilling it?). Although I've gone WAY longer than 2 months with the same tank with stabil and the bike ran just fine. I think the real key is to make sure the carbs are dry so they don't gum up.

I just went out and started my bike for the first time this year yesterday. All I did was change the oil and put in fresh gas and put it away. It started up like a wet dream and ran like a champ once again! Ready for another season in the sun!
