If you have never visually inspected the bearings since buying your TM, I would advise you to do so (or have someone else do it) before going on any trips. That entails cleaning the bearings, repacking them with grease, and replacing the hub seals. It's not hard, but it is messy.

It's just a good idea to do it regularly anyway, but especially so since you know it sat around for long periods of time. It's cheap insurance.
