Storage tip

if not going to be riding for awhile and have leather bags. don't let em be empty. pack em full. also watch overtightening the straps this i believe can contribute towards collasping

fill your tank full as possible and add stable fuel stabilizer
change your oil and filter, run it and parkit refrain from running for short durations as moisture will build.

Remove the plugs, a good squirt of oil or wd40 in each cylinder and turn the engine over a couple of times to spread it on the walls. Then reinstall the plugs. But before any of the storage suggestions, take a good final ride (at least 25 miles to warm everything up) and then drain and replace all of the fluids while thy're good and warm so you remove all of the contaminates.

get one of those battery tenders and plug em in and keep it charged

the best way to store a bike is not to store it. with global warming just keep riding. they're calling for a mild winter:devil:

If ya live somewhere that you have to store your bike, MOVE!

God bless Nevada!

here even as north as pa, theres always a break to run the bike a little

filled the tank added stabil, nice weather rode.. filled the tank added stabil, rode again, filled the tank added stabil, took the wife to town yesterday, filled the tank added stabil gonna ride again today, am I just crazy or are the bike gods on my side for awhile?:roflmao:

if one were to to store a bike would it be a good idea to put em up on a lift to take the weight off the suspension

not so much the suspension as the tires, some where in this forum ken put out pics for a jack made of wood to get the rear off. my self I don't think it sets long enough to worry about but I have put it on one of those 60.00 checker auto jacs.

And Arizona

Last winter I rode year round, except for one day that it snowed and I didn't feel like risking dropping her...
