I have a bike that hasn't ran for at least 2 years. My hips are pretty shot so I can't ride it. What are things I need to check or do, to get it runing. I bought a batt of course. LOL Once it is running, I would like to sell it. She won't be running much so I was wondering if a 20w50 Valvoline oil would be sufficient. It's 4stroke motorcycle oil. JASO MA SF/SG/SJ Does the 3qts cover anything else besides the crankcase. Thankyou for your inputs on this.
2001 FXDWG / Valvoline ?

What is the bike? That will determine whether 20W-50 is correct more than anything else.
Edit: Whoops, I'm a dummy I didn't read the thread title. Yeah that Valvoline should be fine.

Valvoline is always a good oil to run. Whether you are selling it or not.
Today felt so Awesome. This Harley hasn't run in years. After putting in a new battery and changing oil, with B12 squirted in the carb and tank; I was totally shocked how fast she started. Man those Vance n Hines sounds great! She runs great, she idles great, no need to to take her to the shop. Wish I knew how to share photos of the bike.
Good to know you got it running. I use the Valvoline Vr1 20w50 racing oil in mine. Check the tires very closely. I once bought a bike that had sat for 10 years. The tires looked good, but on closer inspection they had cracks right down the middle of the tread.
I'm using Valvoline VR-1 too. Good oil and cheap.
