Hi all,

So I’m resurrecting the fathers old trusty steed as my first bike. Its an NT650V Deauville from 99. He has it 14 years as a weekend runabout but looked after it well. He stored the bike 2 years ago for the winter, but in between the dad became unwell and unfortunately won’t be returning to biking, he’s also adamant that the bike stays (not that anyone was going to sell it on him) and was more than happy when I suggested getting onto it after my IBT as I will need to commute when the current job moves location.

Anyway, we had stored the bike in the uncle’s garage. The uncle goes out and runs the engine every so often, but other than that it’s not been on the road.

What should I look at doing with it before getting it out, or should it be good to go as it was running fine when we put it in the garage.
