I'll explain soon but for now I'll say this is not my bike I'm talking about. Basically there's a bike which needs to be riden but it has been sitting for nearly 2 years.

What needs to be replaced and/or inspected in order to get this bike up and running? BTW, its a gen-1 Busa.

Thanks in advance ....

Was it sitting inside all cozy or out in the elements? I'd say replace all fluids, battery. Check all plugs, hoses and fuses. Flush fuel tank and radiator. And change tires for new ones and inspect wheel bearings and pack with grease. That would be a good start. If you change the oil and battery and it starts right up your half way home.

Oh, And inspect the chain. It might have rusted a bit and the o-ring might have suffered from not being lubricated.

Check for critters, You would be amazed at what can be hiding until you go for a ride.

Suggest adding some injector cleaner to the first couple of tanks of fuel.
