Long term Storage
Hello guys!
I have a 1200 2002 XL that has been sitting without being started for the better part of 9 years! It has a couple issues that I'll be posting later but as of now I noticed there's no or no visible oil in the bike when i parked it it was full or close to.
Any ideas where the oil could be and what would i do before firing this thing up?
I was thinking obviously changing the oil or whats left of it, putting some seafoam in the gas to break up the old gas and maybe oil or a shot of seafoam in the cylinder in case the piston is seized?
Thanks

you need to get the oil back into the tank before you can drain it … once the oil is back into the tank you can install the spark plugs and run it a little to get the oil warm … it drains easier when warm …
