  • Had a BMW GS on a side stand for four years unused. What are the basics to do before starting it up again? Cheers

    I would:

    1. Charge the battery.
    2. Check the oil levels.
    3. Drain the existing fuel.
    4. Put in new fuel.
    5. Whip out the spark plus.
    6. Turn over the engine with the plugs out until you get oil pressure.
    7. Put the plugs back in if they look OK, or put in new ones if they're manky.
    8. Fire in the hold.

    That's assuming its a wet sump engine, which I'm pretty sure it will be.
