I take the spark plugs out and crank it for about 15 seconds to fill all the oil galleries and get fresh oil circulating, then put the plugs back in & fire it up.

El Rey, Thank you. I spent some time in and miss every bit of it.
Great info, I always thought I may be missing something as all I have ever done is keep the battery charged and cranked her up.

I agree with making sure the battery is charged and hit the button. It's not like you had it stored for a year or so.

No way mine is ever going to be parked that long! LOL,,, it's killing me to have it set for a month and a half with only getting 100 miles on it in that time!
So I guess I'll never have that question to ask!
