Gen II Restart

[Jbaby1969]

A little background on my bike. I bought it new in 2008 after selling my Gen 1. The bike only has about 2000 miles on it so it’s still like new. Completely stock other than the exhaust which is a knock off version of Voodoo slip on tips.

I’ve never ran the bike on the street with this exhaust set up. It had a full R-77 kit on it while I was riding. My first question is will it need to be tuned to use this exhaust?

Question 2 is what should I do to prep the bike for restarting? It has been sitting for years without being started. I’ve got the fuel tank prepped on the inside due to rust. A new fuel pump unit is on its way as well. Just worried about the internals of the engine after sitting that long.

Any tips are greatly appreciated.

Change oil / filter. Pull the spark plugs. A little bit of oil in the cylinders then spin the motor over with plugs out so it can spin fast enough to pump oil through the engine. A few 30 second runs is all you need. Space a few minutes apart to let starter cool. A good charged battery. Install new plugs and fuel.
Go ride

Ok thanks for the help. I’ll start on that tomorrow. Do you think the tires will be safe after all this time? The bike was stored inside so they shouldn’t be dry rotted.

Absolutely not. Glue starts to break down @ 6 years, and by 8 they are failure waiting to happen. Compound is now hard / aged.

If you have a good impact it’s much better to pull the clutch basket out and manually spin the oil pump gear to build oil pressure. Honestly the best way to go about starting one of these that hasn’t ran in years.

If you run quality oil, there’s really no need to do it, but I understand the piece of mind.
