If you are trying to get a motorcycle running if it has been sitting for some time, the first things you will need to do are:

Charge the battery or replace it if it isn't holding a charge.

Drain the old fuel from fuel tank and carbs.

Check engine oil level.

Attempt to start - if it doesn't fire, carbs will probably need stripping and cleaning.

Be aware that if a machine has been sitting for some time that there is a risk of rust building up the surface of various bearings on the chassis (eg wheel bearings, headstock bearings) which could cause these bearings to fail fairly shortly after the machine is put back on the road. If you are not sure what to look for contact us www.aprilia-merseyside.com or your local dealer.

A motorcycle in a garage is not an example of an isolated system. An isolated system is one that does not exchange matter or energy with its surroundings. In this case, the motorcycle can exchange heat with the garage environment and may also be influenced by factors like humidity or air pressure. Therefore, it is more accurately described as a closed system rather than an isolated one.
