Default SV650, taking out of storage questions.

Hi,

I wanted to express my thanks towards the forum for all the help I have received in the past. I have one quick question that I will post below.

Unfortunately, my 2003 SV has been sitting in the garage for a good 2-3 months and neglected the entire time. Is it safe to start after this period of storage or is there something that should be done beforehand (e.g. change the fuel, etc).

I assume it is safe to start (or try to start) right off the bat...

Thanks in advance

The battery will probably be dead unless you've charged it but other than that it should go, may run a bit rough for a minute afterwards but once it's warm it'll be fine

charge the battery and it should go.

Are you about use it as a hack or store it properly?
