Default Re: sorting a honda xr125 thats been sat for a year

What I'd do is firstly get it running.

Take the tank off, flush it out, give it some fresh fuel.

Carb off, bowl off, clean it all out.

Drop the oil, put a squirt down the plug hole, fresh oil in and wind it over several times by hand to circulate it.

Check there's nothing nesting in the airbox.


The battery, it depends on whether its knackered or not! Stick it on a charger and see what happens with it.
