  • What should be done for a bike idle (engine, battery unused and in parking condition) for 18 months?

    Hi Everyone,

    It's been a long time coming back here, but I would really like to know what to do (please read below) from experienced members or someone who knows the best in this situation.

    Issue: My bike has been parked since December 2019, without even Engine start. I got ill back then and after the Corona crisis and lockdown, my bike was parked in my work location flat for almost 1 year with me working from home.

    When I finally got the bike picked up to my native place, it won't start (obvious) and the battery was dead. Now fast forward, it's still in the same condition as the past few months were very tough due to Corona and illness and now, I finally have time to think about getting the bike back to business.

    Model: Pulsar Rs 200 (2015)
    Insurance: Zero dep with engine converge
    Engine (bike) idle since Dec 2019 (18 months)

    Next steps?

    Please suggest what should I do now. What I was thinking first was to get the battery replaced with a new one (as it had already started showing signs of being run out in late 2019) but not sure about the major component being Engine.

    Thanks!

      Hey nayan_jindal I will suggest few points to get the bajaj back to life

      1. Clean air intake and fuel system and use worth electric contact spray or WD40 to clean wiring harness couplers. If you found out rat bit on wiring harness just check complete harness and repair it.

      2. Replace old fuel

      3. Replace battery

      4. Once the bike is started use good quality engine oil flush and get the service done.

      ​​​​​​​5. Once everything feels good then replace the necessary part.
