norsie Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I got a 2019 Niken GT but it's oil has been sitting for 1+ years. It has nearly 4k miles. I purchased this engine flush but I'm not sure if this is appropriate given the circumstances(it is compatible with a wet clutch system). The main thing I noticed was condensation coming from the exhaust on start ... anything anyone can suggest to me doing going forward? What i'm doing so far: Changing Oil + Filter Changing Coolant Link: Liqui Moly 20050 Engine Flush Motobike - 250ML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride365 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Just drain the oil and change the filter "coolant is fine", and condensation is normal on start up and running.......just like your car does. Hopefully the gas had some stabilizer in it and tank was near full, otherwise a chance for rust in the tank, but if it runs.......that's a good sign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I would've just changed the oil without bothering with 'flush' (which seems to be made of the purest refined snake oil) No need to change coolant (usually recommended after 2 years on a regularly ridden bike) FYI Niken has an aluminum fuel tank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwringer Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 NEVER put any sort of "mouse milk" into motorcycle engine oil. Just change the oil and go from there. 3 Red 2015 FJ-09, among other things.
