Greetings one an all.
I just got home with my Brand new old stock 2012 ST1300.
This bike has 23 miles on it. Was at a dealer for its 5 years of shelf life.
On the fuel gauge it is showing 2 bars. Gas doesn't smell bad. Dealer said it was "maintained".
Stored every year in heated storage. The bike seems to fire up an run like a brand new bike should.
I have not yet been able to get out an really ride it. I trailer her home due to Michigan weather..
Any suggestions on things I should do to this bike before I start really enjoying her?
Dealer suggested adding some sea foam. My brother the MMI grad, Honda certified. Said never dump that stuff in my bike.
Brother said change the oil an fill the tank, An ride it.
I have saved a few older bikes from storage over the years. Cleaned carbs. Changed oil, Timing belts, Yada, yada.
Just asking the knowledge here about this, In hopes I can get direction on items to check right away.
