2001 CBR F4I not used for 3 years and not properly stored...for reasons out of my control.  What do I need to do to get this bike back on the road?  Has anyone used BG44k to clean the fuel system/injectors on a bike?  There's a lot of info for my situation on the net, I just wanted to get a consensus from this forum on the "best" plan of action.  THANKS

I've seen fuel injected bikes come back to life with a battery charge/new battery and fresh gas -

Syphon out the old fuel, add new fresh fuel with some Techron or Yamaha fuel treatment, see what happens.

Oil change is also in order, check all the basics (tire pressure, coolant level, etc).

All fluids are due to be changed, but for now, see if it will start.

You might be in for a pleasant surprise, I'll have my fingers crossed for you!
