Hello all, After 12 years I am back on an airhead. I picked up a 1992 R100RS from its second owner who had it stored for 3 years. It runs well but needs to be gone through over the winter just because of my OCD nature with machines. ? Other bikes I have and ride are a 2009 Moto Guzzi Norge and a 1985 BMW K100RS Turbo.

First thing you'll want to do is contact your local Airhead Club director, what we call an "Air Marshal". Get on his contact list so your can go to the next Tech Day. At the Tech Day you'll make some new local Airhead friends and they'll be working on some bikes. You can get a good taste of what's involved and all the local inside knowledge about who keeps the tools, which store has the best parts availability in your locale, etc.
Like a lot of Airheads, your bike sat for a long while. The following article contains a list of the top 80% of the trouble spots that repeatedly develop during storage. If you have any questions, we're always here to help...
