Storage
Hi to everyone. As my previous post stated I finally got a scoot after many months of waiting. Now that the weather is turning bad though and it's my first winter having one, what is recommended for storage? I have a garage with heat vent's from the house. It doesn't get toooo warm though, just knocks off the chill. Should I remove the battery? Tarp it? Will it hurt to get out and admire the darn thing seeing I can't ride till we get some warmer weather? Gosh, this timing stinks. Why couldn't I have bought it when we had a month of nice weather ahead of us. I must be brain dead or something

RE: Storage
i have about the same for mine. clean the bike and put a motorcycle cover to keep the dust off, a battery tender and you're pretty much good to go. i lift my off the ground with a jack, but many others don't even due that. if you decide to start it up, its a good idea to let it run for quite a while to get it completely warmed. i only start it if I intend to ride it. if not, i just let it sit with the tender keeping the battery charged.

Just put some stabil or seafoam in the gas (full tank) run it into the engine for 5 miuntes and cover it up. Battery tender is oprional. Take it out on a nice day for 15-20 minutes if possible. Next year add an oil change to this procedure.

RE: Storage
I personally store my bikes in a heated garage than is climate controlled. I have a battery tender I keep on them. Make sure that you add fuel Stabil and I would cover them even with a sheet
