Well i thought i would wake the poor old girl today as it's her 10th birthday next week!
Bought my 1150 GS new in 2002 and used for Euro trip's upto 2009, then gave the German bird a full service, cleaned and put her to bed covered up at the back of the garage. All i've done every few weeks is trickle the gel battery every now and again. I've dug her out today, put some air in the tyres as they were down to 10 psi, had a sniff of the fuel tank and fired her up. First time!!!
I'm gonna get an MOT next week and tax it, so i can go to europe on it next month if i decide not to go on my R100R.
Tyres look ok, everything seems to work, light's etc, engine sounds sweet, as tappets etc were all done with oil folter/fresh oil before the big sleep.
Question is what shall i do if anything ? Still on original alternator belt at 22500 miles, i was just going to change the oil and road test bike for a 100 miles or so just to make sure all is ok.
So is it leave the new oil filter in 2009 and just do an oil change and ride, or shall i do other stuff ?
