Im looking to buy a used ninja250 from someone who hardly ever rode it, as far as I know it probably sat for 2 full years. They have never performed any maintenance on the bike so I'm worried there could be problems with it after sitting for so long. The owner says it was garage stored both winters.
I'm going to see the bike tomorrow, anything I should look out for? I'm thinking dead battery, old oil, gas, etc?
UPDATE: Thanks for everyone for the advice. I checked out the bike Thursday and landed up buying it today. it has 90km on it, near perfect condition. It was in the shop when I bought it, for safety and some minor maintenance. Overall very happy with it! Now just to jump through all the other hoops to get it on the road...
