Looks like I'm getting a bike at auction. 07 RTP, just under 18k miles, has been sitting for close to 3 years.
It needs a battery for sure, then I have two choices.
a) bring a battery, ride it home, do some work myself on it
b) have it towed to the local dealer, let them sort it ($$$)
I believe but am not positive that the 07 should have the non-servo brakes and a brake fluid flush is a standard process (I'm really puzzled by the tech article that shows compressing the brake calipers with C-clamps to remove fluid - this seems unnecessary and dumb).
Anything else you would check?
