Hello guys looking for some help been saw a bike for sale that has 2k miles on the clock and is 6 years old . The problem is it’s not been used in nearly 3 years just been turned over every now and then and been stored in garage . Bike has been serviced twice

What sort a parts would a need to change ?wgat should a look out for ? Is it possible bike could be more miles than suggested ?

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

New battery, top up the petrol, pump up the tyres and you should be fine.

I'd probably change the oil and brake fluid as well. Quick and easy job.

Tyres are likely to be six years old or a bit more.

I’d probably change them.

This, ignore the other stuff until you've ridden it, it may well not need any more.
