Hi,

I might be able to get a couple of bikes at a very good price, but they have been standing for a couple of years.


Shocks etc are not too much of an issue but what about the engines?  What is the  best way forward to seeing if they will run properly, flush old oil, pour some oil down the plug holes and tappet area and leave for a day or so, clean out the oil, new plugs?
