Default Fluid help!!! 07 800 X2

Hi,
I have a 2007 800 x2 deluxe, please don't laugh but since I bought it new I only put around 3-4 hours on it because I had nowhere to ride it. I shipped the atv to Europe because that's where I spend every christmas and summer and now I can always ride it. My question is: Since the ATV has been sitting for 2 years in the garage do you think it is very bad for the fluids? Can I use it for a little while before I change the Oil? How about all the other fluids, when will I have to change them?
Thanks

I was under the impression that synthetic fluids don't have a shelf life. So sitting I would think would be ok.

you dont need to change the oil becuase its setting around unless it has major moisture issues. the gas however should be replaced if it hasnt stablized. imo.

Agreed, I'd say the fluids are fine, all but the gas, and it wouldn't hurt to run some sea foam through it
