It's Been Awhile
07/25/18 at 12:36:33

Good song, but I was referring to the last time I rode - late March 2014. My bike developed a bad electrical connection, and it has not been started since. It was only 19 months old at this time. I made an attempt(albeit a feeble one) back in 2016 to get it going. Fresh fuel and a new battery - then gave up. I didn't ever try to find/fix the bad electrical connection. Anyway, I knew before trying to fire it up that I would squirt some oil down the spark plug hole. Dave, however, recommended STA-BIL fogging oil. I still have that full can. Dave also suggested to oil up something else - to avoid possible damage to ?? Maybe valve train? It's been four years and four months now. My bike is a 2011 - purchased new on 8-21-12. It has 3025 miles on it. Any advice/suggestions would be welcomed.

Either that, or sell it cheap to my nephew. In either case I would want to know for myself, or to let my nephew know some precautions.
