Yep it's been stood for a long time. It's had a good wash and all the plastics and brakes removed. I'm just taking my time going over everything I can think of from top to bottom. Once I get the electrics sorted, oil & filter changed, calipers overhauled, new fluids and pads fitted, I'll be checking the valve clearances and maybe the CCT. I have some v. low mileage sprockets and might pick up a new chain (although I'll be cleaning up the existing one first to see what nick it's in).
