View Full Version : Bringing a bike out of storage

When I got my SV650, my CBR125 went straight into storage, and I mean literally.

Just rolled the bike into the garage and there it sat for now just over a year.

The only thing I did was to lift it on my home made paddock stand which lifts the rear wheel clear.

Now a friend of a friend has approached me looking to possibly purchase it...

To make it as sellable and reliable as I can, other then an oil & filter change, lube the chain, check for cracks on tyres and change the battery ( I know its knackered as it was when it went into the garage!) what else should I look at
a) To make sure its safe, and b) to make it sellable.

It will need an MOT before its back on the road so anything in particular I should look out for to make sure it passes (other then the tyres as above and making sure the lights work)

change the spark plug, check the brakes haven't seized on.
