Savage 'outta' mothballs
12/14/10 at 14:00:00

Hey Gang...been awhile since I've been here. Went retro-70's for awhile and bought a Honda Chopper which I've been riding for a yr. and half.
Anyway, I mothballed Suzy in the corner and kinda neglected her since that time... Embarrassed

. I want to get her back in order over winter and would like to know anything I would need to do ??

Other than flushing out the tank and carb and new battery...would I have to change the oil & filter ?? It only had 2K on the old oil. Would it be OK to fire her like that, or drain and install new the beforehand ? Bike is an '01 with 5400 miles. Don't want to pump any debris and stuff into a dry top end, so thats why I'm asking. Any tips or suggestions ???

Condensation too,... definitely change the oil... ... and a little squirt of oil in the plug hole will help re-establish a good compression seal on the rings...
