Not exactly an FZ6 question i must admit but you guys seem to have good overall mechanical knowledge so here goes:
Im thinking of buying a European Daytona 600 (2003) but the bike has not been used in 4 years. It has a dust cover on it and will have a new battery and MOT upon sale of it. The engine itself has only covered 1200miles though so technically almost brand new.
Im nervous because a standing bike is not usually a good thing. Not with fluids anyway I believe. Assuming the worst, potentially the tyres would need replacing and may be slightly misshapen if left untouched for so long, brake lines checked for cracking and all over fluid change due to settling.
Im not completely sure of the condition it was garaged in (im hoping he had the sense to drain most fluids, and oil here and there) but what, if any, dangers or problems could i forsee with this?
Please note i have NOT seen this bike and am in the process of asking the questions but I want to be sure im asking the right questions and know what things to look for or whether this would be a bad idea full stop.
Thanks,
Bo
