Bike sat for over 3 years...
I am finally ready to bring out my other bike: a 2005 Victory V92C that I inherited when my father passed away in 2005. It hasn't moved since he last drove it into the shed, and it still has a quarter tank of gas in it. What should I do to get it road ready again?
All I've heard from friends was "put seafoam in it", but I'm guessing there's more to it than that... I have a new battery, I'll get new tires, and I'm guessing other things like new spark plugs...?
Any help is appreciated!
BTW, this is what it looks like, same exact colors as mine:

That's not his, it's a bike just like it. Nice ride, would be a nice diversion for when you want a break from sportbikes. I've been thinking about picking up another cruiser to ride on the side, something to be said for a comfy bike. I'd consider draining the gas that's in it before putting fresh gas in, but it's probably not 100% necessary.

Make sure the brakes work. I bought a bike that was supposedly "ridden until mid summer last year" Which would mean it hadn't run in about a year, carbs were all gummed up and brake master was dry and gummed. Do look everything over, especially rubber componenets. Change, oil, change gas, check tire pressure, have fun.
