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:
- Charge the battery.
- Check the oil levels.
- Drain the existing fuel.
- Put in new fuel.
- Whip out the spark plus.
- Turn over the engine with the plugs out until you get oil pressure.
- Put the plugs back in if they look OK, or put in new ones if they're manky.
- Fire in the hold.
That's assuming its a wet sump engine, which I'm pretty sure it will be.
- Charge the battery.
