Fluid Change?
Hey guys, I have less than 500 miles on my ride since changing the fluids. For the most part, it's been sitting the last couple of months (I've had it out a few times on short rides when the weather was nice). Do you recommend I change the fluids before riding season or do you think I'll be okay for another couple thousand miles?

Two months won't make any difference on the fluids. I would be more concerned about the fuel in the tank and how broken down and oxidized it has become, especially if you are using fuel with ethanol and the tank is not full at all times.

I think you will be fine, but if makes you feel better, change it. You do need to get it out on the road and up to temp for a while to rid the moisture when you can, Bud.
You should consider a fuel stabilizer, for sure...
