Well I just got my bike back from being locked up, and i wanted to know if their was anything i should look at before I stunt the bike

I.E.


Rusted Parts ?? (From sittin so long, after being rained on twice.)


I know the oil wasnt chaged for 5000+ km and then went right into lock up.. Is their anytihng i should be looking for ??? From sitting so long..




Can never be to safe no?

 

I dont think so, but I'm no mechanic....just change the oil, change the gas, check the tire pressure and go ride....


oh, and lube up your chain!

 

was it locked up outside or inside?

 

Maybe the garage had a hole in it, but he did say rained on. so im guessing outside

 

Well, it was rained on before, then i rode it once and then got arrested again. It was inside for the last 5 months tho, but just finshed gettin rained on..


W/e, checkin tubes and crap is fine, i just didnt wanna have to worry about frame and such..

 

might want to try replacing the rider.

 

Ya check the tubes make sure theres no holes squidly

 

sorry bout crtch's sarcasm, but dude u gotta expect someone to be an *** to u after some of ur posts, but i give u props, this was a good thread by you asking legitimate questions. if it starts up fine then electrical n plugs are cool, check battery for corrosion, check lights and signals n indicators for proper accuracy and that they're working. guess it wasn't rained on too much cus u say it was inside 5 months, how long has it been gone? honestly, y'd it get taken for? cus i had my bike taken for some dumb crap! anyways, nuthen should be wrong with the frame, forks, wheels, chain or anything unless u crashed it previously, if so check around the neck and welds as well as other stress points for cracks and errosion, let me know boss.

 

last time i checked, aluminum frames don't rust.
might be different in canada, though.
you never know.

 

I know the oil wasnt chaged for 5000+ km


You change your oil????

 

yeah aluminum don't rust, but it does corrode(spelling??)
but yeah, change the oil first. when you do, drain the oil, take off the filter(do this on grass ur gonna make a mess) when the oil stops draining take off the filler cap, turn on the engine and pour about a cup of oil in so the old oil can flow out the motor and continue lubrication. after that put the new filter on, crush washer and pan bolt, fill up the oil and put the cap back on.

 

my dads a mechanic so i just asked him.he said that you should just change the oil and maybe the gas lube the chain up and maybe look at the tires?depending on how old they are.check for dryrot[sp?] and you should be good good luck

 

did u really just tell himto drain all the oil and then start it? squid on squid advice is never a good idea

 

^^^^^

 

haha leave it to crtchcrtch to make bibo look like an idiot haha

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

I believe this is what he was talkin about.

 

Exactly what I was thinking but wouldn't it have been funnier if we didn't point that out?

 

That's funnY!

 

you mom is letting you ride again after the bitch fit she threw?
