1098s Service After Storage

  1. Hi all

    Im bringing my 2007 1098s with 19k on the clock back to life after being stored for a year . I broke my collar bone at Snetterton on my track bike last may so the bikes were tucked away as it was a pretty bad break and couldn't ride until a couple of weeks ago .

    So got the fairing off and gave the bike a really good de grease and got a list together.

    Needs

    Oil and filter ( desmo service done in Feb last year )

    Brake and clutch fluid

    Brake pads and calipers cleaned.

    New radiator/coolant change

    I always service my own bikes I've owned aprilia rsv s for years:).

    All seems straight forward enough but is there anything unusual that I need to look out for? The hidden nosecone bolt for example threw me for a while !

    Thanks in advance im working on it this evening and tomorrow hopefully ready for next week.

  2. If it had a Desmo service last year and it’s only been off the road til now then I wouldn’t think it needs anything apart from a check over.

  3. Maybe something for the fuel ( sorry… PETROL) if you didn’t have a stabilizer.
     
  4. Forgot to add I've already drained and filled with the finest E5
