mjkouris Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Hi all, Just joined - but I picked up a 2019 MT07 back in October with about 900 miles on it. I put a few hundred on it since then and it has been sitting in the garage for the past couple months without being ridden - the weather in Denver, CO lately has been crappy. With spring around the corner, looking to get the bike ready for some day-rides through the mountain. Want to make sure I tune/check everything needed too - but need some advice to what? Thanks!

Triple Jim Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Just a couple months? Just check the fluids, tire pressure, put in some fresh gas, and ride. Welcome to the board MJ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member DewMan Posted March 20, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted March 20, 2021 I suggest you add checking the battery condition as well as the chain lubrication and adjustment to your list. Enjoy your 1st ride of the season. 1 DewMan Just shut up and ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven’t done so already, download a copy of Yamaha’s 2019 MT-07 Owners Manual. It contains a comprehensive periodic maintenance and adjustment schedule as well as a pre-operation checklist. While Yamaha charges for their service manuals (which I personally find indispensable since I do all my own maintenance work), they let you download the Owners Manual for free at: https://dd5394a0b8ca8e97ba29-abf76f3d91a2125517d6c7c409f095c7.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/content/common/manuals/2019/LIT-11626-32-58_5c06c9732a0ab73cec87e807.pdf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about the battery, but decided that the easiest way to check its condition was to see if the engine starts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That usually works. But I'd hate to find out on ride day that your battery may not be up to the task. 1 DewMan Just shut up and ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. See if it starts well before ride day! I know the chance is very small, but I knew a DewMan on the Kaw triples board years ago. That's not you, is it?

I'm always paranoid that the "test" startup used up the last of the charge on the battery. Even after that never being the case I alway throw a tender on it just to be extra Boy Scout.
