so heres the deal I baught my 14 FXDB in oct..it was fired up but not ridden she was put away for storage from the dealers trailer..now its been 5 months sitting inside..i didnt fog the cylinders but now im thinking should i fog them before firing and if so should i manually crank it a couple times..the bike only has 16km on it...brand new

 

Well, I never fog the cylinders either. Come on, we live in BC not New York lol.
Did you ride 16kms and park? Your winter must be tough lol

 

I'm with 128 just fire it up without worry!

 

Haha yeah it was tough..snow is finally gone..well almost..off my lawn anyways..gravel still is present..so no riding untill thats gone..seen too many wipeouts..yeah alright will do..no didnt get even to ride that day was frosty and cold that morning..as much as i wanted to i figured it would be more punishment and more of a treat to ride in the new year

 

Hey, my bike has sat for 8 months twice with just a battery tender and fuel stabilizer. I have not had any issues with starting her up or riding after that. But I really don't think I'm qualified to provide a scientific answer either.

 

sounds good guys thanks

 

Besides, it's not like a new engine build. There is a diaphram in the filter to keep oil up when the engine is stopped. That way you don't have to feed the entire path every time you start the machine.
