[QUOTE="dayven99, post: 1466597, member: 41268"] I put plenty of miles on my FJR in ATL before moving here to Vegas and then having my son shortly after moving here. Sadly, all four of my bikes sat while I worked two jobs and took care of my son. I'm finally getting back on the bikes one by one. I read Jammer125 thread and following all the applicable things they are doing. I figured just new battery, new fluids, and tires and it would be ok to get back running. Well new Lithium battery to see it would start but notice I didn't put fuel preservative in only the FJR thinking I would ride again sooner. So, plenty of rust in the tank!! So out with the bad gas and in with baking soda and vinegar (I'm hearing it also breaks up rust). The tank is sitting off the bike with the solution and hopefully I will dump out the rust from the tank tomorrow. I also changed the oil and filter on the FJR. I know final drive and coolant are next on the list once tank and fuel pump are clean. Taking pictures on some of the things I'm doing. Not sure it can fit on the forum. [/QUOTE]
