What happens when a motorcycle sits for 20 years?
Many classic motorcycles spend years, and sometimes decades, parked in garages, sheds and barns.
While some survive remarkably well, long periods of storage can create a range of issues.
Common problems include:
✓ Stale fuel
✓ Blocked carburettors
✓ Flat or cracked tyres
✓ Corrosion
✓ Seized brakes
✓ Electrical faults
The good news is that many motorcycles can often be brought back to life with the right approach and a bit of patience.
Every motorcycle is different, which is part of the challenge and the enjoyment of classic bike ownership.
