Bike hasn't been ran in over a year,now what?
Hi guys!
I have a 2006 883XL that I haven't been able to ride for just over a year. It's been sitting in my garage in a good climate. I want to start riding again in the spring, but I want to ensure I take all precautionary measures not to damage anything since its been sitting for a while. Is there anything I need to do? Or can I just crank er up with some fresh gas?
Thanks!
BTW, she definitely needs a new battery, so if anyone has any suggestions, that would be much appreciated!

All Fluids,,and DUMP the Gas Tank !!!,,not In the yard or toilet tho,,,
If the Carbs ok an ya get a battery your almost there,,,
Last thing,,
CHECK the tires very very closely,,any tiny little cracks ?? dry rot ??
An 06 bike has 05 tires and Its 2011 now,,
I would not run tires over 4 years old no matter what they looked like,,,
But thats just me.
Rubber dries out,,a blowout hurts,,,,
My 2008 Is getting new tires at the end of this comming summer,,
