Just need a bit of advice please chaps, I have an SV 02 s, about 12k on the clock which has been standing in my barn about a year,(or maybe two)!! it was running perfectely well until one day I rode to my local town Angouleme in France, and it started to missfire a little and not pickup properly, first I put it down to some dodgy fuel, then thought maybe it was the cdi, since then it has been turned over now and again and has been connected to a trickle charger.
Now then, given that I live in the middle of nowhere without a bike trailor to take it to the nearest garage (30k) do I A: take off the carbs and clean them (never done anything like this before) B: try and find a trailor and or friendly expat bike mechanic, or C: re-insure it then strangely missplace it!
Ultimately I need to sell it as I am moving back to the UK and I don't really want to stick it on the van.
ps; TWO YEARS!!! I hear you say?? Well this IS France after all.....
