No guff. Working on a deal right now. I wonder if there would be any damage from just sitting for 8 yrs. Indoors, I don't know if it was heated or not.

Seals might need replacing, but that should be about it. And the recalls.

You get that seat yet?

Be gentle I would consider valve springs and gaskets as a start. I also wonder about the cylinder walls and rust?

Starting to get a little nervous, could be problematic.


I got the seat. Thanx.

my 01 m2L sat for 6 years in a warehouse in Japan, when I did the cylinder and rocker gaskets there was a faint line on the barrels where the pistons had been, which is nothing and other than a new o ring kit for the carb which had developed a leak its so far shown no affects of sitting for a long time as far as performance goes, cleaning up the rust on most of the bolts etc. took up most of the time but its looking mint now

i bought a 99 m2 with 2300 miles on it last spring, and it had been sitting for probably 3 years since it was last ridden. runs like a champ! only thing that needed a little tlc was cleaning it up. not a whole lot of rust, but you'd have to look to notice it at all. got the carb re-jetted and all the fluids changed before we took her out for the first time.

Can you pull the plugs and look in the cylinders with a dentist mirror? the other thing, take the silver dollar sized inspection cover on the primary off and have a look at the primary chain for evedence of rust, mabe a squirt of oil in the cyl's or marvel mystery oil, before you fire it. Could be your getting a rightious bike
