Been Sat For A Week

[Bobdope2002]

The zed has been sat for over 7 days doing nothing anything i should not do straight away?????

It's nothing unusual chief that requires any attention. I often leave mine well alone for long periods, just get in and all is normal as it should be. :)

I've left mine for over 6 months before now and all's been well, obviously done pre-flights checks ;)

A week is nothing, just check your tyre pressures and let it warm up before booting it, as we should do anyway.

[Mat C]

Yeah, i never accalerate hard or go above 3000rpm in mine until the temperature needle is fully settled.

[Bobdope2002]

cool i did start it up yesterday and it started first turn with no hesitation at all i was just wondering about the brakes would they need settling in again it has been garaged all week though

[talkingcars]

After a week? That's no time at all, I might worry if you'd been for a hard drive in the rain and parked it up with hot brakes in a damp location but other than that a week is nothing.

As said a weeks nothing. Imagine how long it was sitting around in a field at longbridge for when it was new, then sat in the dealers until it was sold.

yeah... a week is nothing. if it was a few months then you'd just need to give it a quick 'once over'.

With my shift patterns, mine gets hammered for a week, then rest for a week. Always starts & stops ok.
Pick it up from garage tomorrow......away for weekend & Zed was having MOT Friday afternoon :thumbsup:

[stamford]

When mine was sorned last winter I had to flex-hone the brake discs as they were pretty bad. Not that fortunate where I live as the garage is too small..................at the moment ;)

One good reason why I don't race anymore, I need a bigger garage for the toys! I miss my old place :sad: nice big double garage, anyway I digress!

[Bobdope2002]

yeah it was just as new felt a bit weird driving after a week without at first i forgot how fast it was,

Took it out for about an hour drove around town really slowly for a bit just to warm it up then i opened it up a bit and was just awesome

[stamford]

:laugh: the smile never goes away eh!

[Bobdope2002]
