Hi I have had my bike stored for three weeks with stabilizer run through and tender on (green light); same as I've done for years. This morning noticed water (not gas) dripping on low side a few inches in front of rear wheel. It's a bit of a pain to take the cover off and try to get a better look - any thoughts? I unplugged the tender for now as I'm wondering if the battery is warming up.

 

Stored indoors or out? Unless your bike is a water head which doesnt seem likely by your signature its probably condensation from heat variations combined with a cover that doesnt breath

 

Condensation under the cover. Lose the cover.

 

Yup , I'd just toss a sheet over it to keep the dust off.

 

Cover?? What the hell is a cover?

 

In the Marines it was our cap. Here, it's what I cover my bike with every night, to keep prying eyes off of it.

 

Put a 40 watt light bulb under the bike. (The old fashioned kind that makes heat.) That little bit of heat will keep the bike a few degrees warmer than the ambient temp in the storage area and will prevent condensation form forming on the bike. I have been doing this with all three bikes for years and it really does work. A cover on the bike (breathable of course) will help hold some of the heat from the bulb in there too.

 

Yeah that..
