Default where to start?

I just adopted a 1999 kx 125 from a friend. The bike has been stored outside/uncovered for 2 years. Was running great whenparked. Loaded her up and put in my garage, havent even tried to kick start it. Where should I start? What kind of problems should I expect? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Jason

Default RE: where to start?

I would pull, the plug, and fill the cylinder and case with diesel fuel. After a few days of soaking slowly hand turn the crank to check for any sticking of the rings. Drain the diesel. During the soak time, inspect all rubber boots, lines for cracks. That way you can have them on order if needed during the down time. Order a handfull of plugs while you are at it.

Have fun and welcome to KF
