If it was just lying on its side, you should check the battery hasn't leaked, the brake fluid reservoirs haven't leaked and there is no fuel in puddles around the machine. If all of this is good and the engine oil level is good, then just start it. It may take a couple of tries to get fuel from the tank to the carbs/injection system, but it should survive a small tumble. I have chucked a bike down the road at 60mph and it still started and ran fine immediately afterwards. The car driver that made me do it only had a bloody nose.
You need to flush your radiator and coolant system out. Change your transmission fluid and filter. It wouldn't hurt to change your spark plugs and wires, but this is usually 60,000-70,000 miles. Check all your fluids. Grease all your axle points as well. Check your wheel alignment.
regular maintenance is performing the changing of fluids or parts and checking systems for wear and proper operation at a interval set by the manufacturer (or dealer)in order to prevent premature wear or damaging internal parts by worn fluids or wearing parts therefore prolonging the life of the vehicle
There isn't a spring in hydraulic disc brakes for bicycles. If the lever isn't going back, that means the hydraulic fluid isn't going back into the master cylinder to push the lever back out. You could have pistons in the caliper that are binding. At three years old, it is common to have the entire system rebuilt with new seals. There could be dirt that is interfering with the proper operation of the brake.
automatic or manual trans? milage, age and driving habits-compare all this to the manufacters recommend maintenace schedule-make sure it is the manufaturers and not the dealers as there can be discrepencies. with the comparison if you find that your milage accumulates sooner than the rated length of time then your maintenace schedule should have sooner than intervals.
I don't know how much maintenace you have done in the past. Besides the normal inspections of the brakes, fluid levels and oil changes they do recomend changing the spark plugs and the axle fluid at 30,000 miles and adjusting your parking brake cable. hope this helps....
Hello. Yes. Go to any autozone parts store, or other parts store that has a scanner. Have them scan it, they usually do it for free in hopes of selling you something, and that will tell you what is wrong. I too avoid the "stealerships" as often as I can.
Check your brake fluid level. If the level is low, it will cause this. Also- if the level is significantly low, have your brakes checked, or check them yourself. When brake pads or shoes wear down, the level of fluid in the reservoir will drop accordingly with it.
Keep an eye on your temp gauge, check your radiator fluid daily for a week (or until you're comfortable that the mechanics fixed the issue), and pay attention to odd smells (radiator fluid). A bad seal on the radiator cap would allow fluids to leak out, so hopefully you're all set now.
