Do you know if something like Stabil was added to fuel AND run into the motor before it was stored? "Stale" gas and "varnish" in the fuel system is very likely if not. There are chemicals like Seafoam, BG 44k, Chemtool B-12 etc you can add to your gasoline to help clear up fuel problems.
definitely drain and replace the brake fluid.

Everything..climate control doesn't really mean all THAT much...without water in the system things still dry out, and that's kind of a long time to sit empty and dry like that. But fill it up, start it up and see what happens. It's just a possibility in this brain-storming exercise.erick1670;283654 wrote: thank you for the quick post
that's refer to the outside, or the engine seals?
bike was store in a climate control room or garage...

A thought...
The exhaust valve that was open to the pipe may have some corrosion and in that cylinder.. Maybe pull the plugs and see if anything is evident. I have seen a barn find 1932 Indian fire up with minimal work!

thanks for all the replies...
I am asking all this, because I am interested in a race prep bike that it was put in storage soon after the build up in 09.
the bike looks new from the pics, I would like to see it but I cant go and see it b/c is in AZ.
I ask the owner if its was running, but said that is in hibernation :dunno:
looks like I'll have to pass on this :argh:

So my .02
From what I understand you could buy an AMA super sport bike 2010 or newer with a refreshed motor/suspension for a similar price maybe a bit more but not much....
If I where to buy this bike a price even close to that then I would expect a refreshed motor from a reputable motor builder and the suspension to be refreshed/sprung for me.
Everything being "fresh" is common with super premium race bikes and at that price you should expect no less....

and if it was a 2011+ and perfect/fresh i could see some where around 13k, but for an 08 no way. don't take me the wrong way man i am not saying your crazy for looking at the bike. just that who ever is selling it is crazy if they think thats a fair price.
