Is this something I should concern myself with?
Thanks.
What ever, I bout a 20 yer old Savage it took tre times for me to start it!
And then I drive to my home, topt up some new gas to be sure.
It was in springtime, my old MC clothings was not that good.. in anyway I manage to drive my bike frome the storage to my garage!
Soo, a new helmet new boots att first, new glows and a new jaket, the old leader trouser seems to work whit breaces!
Next thing.. new tires and tubes, new oil and oil filter!
And to the break-in.. lucky that your seller told this.. IE I think its becuse your bike have been standing some time?
In any case.. let the oil circulate, make sure its new, and the oil filter, brake in tyres if they are hard, or rather by new ones, and the tubes to!
Brake in brakes, is there any rust, try it out, this is moste importante for the rear brake! And then, the fronbrake is more importante, check the fluid, drain the whole thing and put in brand new braking fluid, to play safe!
