Winter Storage Tips
Was Reading a Back Issue of Motorcyclist Mag and Found a Winter Storage Item that might be of Intrest to the Guys that have to Put their Bikes in Hibernation for 4 Months[ Like Me, Indiana Winters usualy SUCK] Anyhoo Here Goes, Change the Oil and Filter,Dont Forget theres Two Drain Plugs, Old Oil is Full of Acids that if left in the Sump will do Some Damage over Time. Take the Battery out Put it Indoors,[ Those with Heated Garages this Does NOT APPLY, Lucky Bastards] and Put it on a Trickle Charger, Make Sure the Acid Level is Good and If it needs Filled use Distilled Water ONLY. Not Realy Possible With the Eliminators to get Both Tires off the Ground BUT Put Some Wood Under Them to keep the Tires off the Concrete, A Plywood Strip Works Great which Can be Found at Any Construction Site Dumpster, Dont Forget to Put a Piece under the Side Stand Too.A Little WD 40 Works Wonders For Keeping Moisture Off Everything, Frame , Exhausts, Electrical Connections, Painted Surfaces Should Get a GOOD Coat of Wax, Car Brite Butter Wax Works Great Especialy on Black. Fill the Tank up to The Neck and Use a Fuel Stabalizer[Stabil] This will STOP Rust from Forming in the Tank And is Easier than Draining the Tank and Oiling it, DONT forget to Drain the Float Bowls, Gas turns to GLUE after a While and we all Know what a ***** it is to get the Carbs Off and Especialy Back on. I Like To Crank mine over Every Week or So to get Some Oil Back up on the Cylinders, NO CHOKE just to make Sure it dont Fire, You can also Squirt a Teaspoon Of Oil down the Cylinders and Not Worry about Cranking it Over. Used this Formula Last Year and The Bike Started Up with a Little Choke and Not Much Cranking. Spring Time Warm it Up, Dump the Oil[ Filter is Still Good] Drain the Tank, Put in Some Fresh 94 Octane and its FUN TIME AGAIN. Any one Have any Other Tips,
