I know that our winters don't really kick in until about January and even then it is still warm enough to ride at least a few days a month, so my question is do I need to do anything special during the time that my bike may be sitting for a month or so.

My current oil has 2200 miles on it, I am going to change it before the temp gets below 50F, or at 3000 miles which ever comes first.I am running Amsoil products in all three holes. I travel with my job, usually 4 weeks at a time, so that's the reason for the question.
I guess my question is, if I am still going to ride my bike at least once or twice a month (maybe more if I am home)during the winter, do I need to do anything special?

 

there's no such thing as "winter storage" in texas.

 

You dont need to do anything special. Its not like its going to be sitting for months on end. It will be fine!

 

I'd get a battery tender to keep the battery fresh. It'll help the battery last quite a bit longer. I have a Black & Decker model I got at Wally World for $20 that I use on one of the bikes we don't ride as frequently.

 

I don't do anything different in winter, other than if I know The bike will be parked for a few days I plug in the battery tender.

 

When I *lived* in Lubbock, that's what I did. STA-BIL won't hurt, either.

 

That's what I was thinking, but it never hurts to ask. Thanks fellas.

 

I run fuel stabilizer for winter and change the oil out so it's fresh however, i'm in Eastern Washington.... in the Pacific Northwest...
battery tender time for 90 days or more. dread the thought of winter.... dang.

 

Riding once a month should be no problem,
maybe put in Satbil in the fuel tank before you leave foe a month though.

 

What does Stabil do? Should this only be done when it's cold, or anytime the bike sits for a month?
