Hi everyone, I've not been on here for quite a while for various reasons which I won't bore you all with. I'm sure this subject has been covered before, but I can't find the answers. I'm embarrassed to say that my lovely 600 has sat in my garage for about 18 months now, I'm determined to use it this summer, it's been plugged in to an optimate so the battery should be OK, will it be OK to just try and get it started? Or will that do any damage? Or should I get it to a mechanic who's not a halfwit like me.
The last time I rode it was bringing it back from being serviced and MOT'd.


Thanks for any help you can give me.

I don't know whether anyone else has looked at Bike mag this month, but they have done an feature on bikes that 'do it all'.

Anyway the FZS600 comes in at number 11 from 20, but I thought the interesting part was that they said the prices are soon to start rising.

So now I can say my bike is an 'investment', or it's 'my pension' and then try to look like I know what I'm talking about

Can anyone help me locate a rattle I have on the front end, I think, of my FZS600. It's difficult to explain, a solid type of rattle rather than a buzzing tinny one. It doesn't do it while stationary and it's driving me nuts.
