Hi All
I just got a 2007 TW 200 with fairly low mileage (1440km) for the wife to ride. The bike was previously used by a security company to patrol a neighborhood, but subsequently they withdrew it from service because they couldn't find security guards with bike licenses. The bike has therefore not really been used since 2008. I would like to get it looked at (i.e. serviced) before we start using it, but I would like to get some tips as to what might need attention. The battery is dead of course, so that needs replacement. I'll also get the oil changed, chain lubed etc. What else do I need to look out for? Even with the infrequent use it starts first kick, and runs fairly smoothly.
Any advice is appreciated.
