anyone have any insight to this?
other than checking the tires and fluild levels etc, what other precautions should be taken to ensure she's road ready again?

We can maybe help you if you can focus your thoughts and help us by posting basic info with your Q's.

Honda CBR600? Which one, a red one? :wtf

Seriously now, which model, which year?

Oil leaking from where?

Any previous incidents?

Check your owners manual for basic service items. If you're clueless when it comes to moto service you might want to get some in person help to confirm that your bike is roadworthy.

well, based on the information, I would say if oil is leaking, it is coming from your engine. It's preferable to not have oil leaking out of the engine.

might want to run some carb cleaner through as well, assuming you didn't drain the carbs before storing for a few months. when gas evaporates, it leaves varnish. varnish no good for small openings like jets.

hope you had the battery on a tender.
