Hey, all! Became A VRCC member in November, this is my first post; have spent countless hours reading all the great posts on all the boards! Tremendous amount of experience and knowledge from a great group of folks! Not to mention good stories, too!
I bought my first Valk, a black 1998 Tourer with 19,000 miles last summer. Only put about 300 miles on it so far; been in dry storage since December with full tank of gas with Sta-Bil and battery removed. Any suggestions for servicing I should do before riding season begins? I've read so much on the Tech Board; just wanna make sure I'm not missing anything.
Thanks for your help! I'll try to attach a bike picture next time! Looking forward to some rides with other Valks around the VA area this year!

Be checking the rear splines pinion cup drive shaft and look at the date code on the tires and see how old they are. And ride er like ya stole er.  Welcome to the insanity.  RIDE SAFE. |
