I also don't see much special about bikes that are driven little to never. How many bearings and seals have dried up or out, how much corrosion to electrics while it sat? 583 kms per year or it sat doing nothing for several years.




Truth. I'm living this pain as a result of letting mine sit for too long. Those days are over, thankfully ... but I've been replacing gaskets and doing random maint like you wouldn't believe. I also had corrosion issues on my tire beads causing leaks.

It's a newer bike too ... 07 with just over 7k miles on it sat way more than it ran for a few years. I can only imagine an 02 with less miles would have similar issues.
