LeanLady Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 I so want to be there but have a work commitment. But actually, I first need to go over the bike as it's been sitting for 2 years (on a trickle charger and getting started a couple of times a month to keep fluids flowing), then get safety and registration done! Probably needs new tires due to age (I get to learn how to use the No-Mar, rather than just help with it)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the bike, like I said at the last meeting I would be happy to help. I have Terry's tire changer so I can help you with tires and oil change...etc. I don't want to use a No-Mar any more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoGas Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 @LeanLady, I’ll second what @Speed said. I’d be glad to help get you and the bike back out with the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogpark Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 Let me know what necessary. I know how to use a NoMar and don't mind it. Do you have service manual for your bike? Need to know torque specs etc. We can probably find them online if not. Just need year, make model etc. Recently read an article on long term battery tender usage and my experience is the same that you should probably budget for a new battery in the near future though the diligent starting every couple of weeks may have been very beneficial in this area. Between everyone we can "little red" up to snuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it was all that new before the bike got parked, and I think battery life span is about 3 to 5 years?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
