Hey guys. Four questions:
1) The bike I just bought has sat for 3 months. Every 2-3 weeks it was started (or so the seller told me) but they only rode it like 100m and then put it away so didn't get much of a run. I charged the battery today and it started after a couple tries. I'm guessing it just needs a good run to clean the pipes and get the battery back into good condition..
I was told to just fill the tank up with petrol and then take it for a good ride.. but should I drain the fuel first? Does petrol do anything funny after a few months?
2) Where is the reserve tank located? Is it just a seperate compartment at the bottom of the tank? How do you tell when you're running low on petrol if there's no gauge? Looking into the tank isn't really that much help.. Also, you don't have to fill the reserve tank up, right? It gets filled up when you refuel normally?..
3) How many L/100KM does your MC22 do?
4) Is it hard to clean the carby? Is it hard to access, and how do you clean it? I'm guessing this could do with a clean. The oil, oil filter, air filter, pads, rear tyre and plugs are all new so that's all good.
EDIT: If the process of cleaning the carby is similar to a CBR600 , I don't think I'm up to that quite yet..
Cheers
