ok i gotta ask it cause we all have heard this,,,,if you dont jackup your bike at layup(winter) you will get flat spots on the tires. true or false

 

If you can periodically roll the bike back and forth a bit it's not an issue. I'd worry more about leaving the tires sitting on a concrete surface, put some wood, rubber, carpet scraps, etc. under them if thats the case.

 

Before I had a lift I'd chalk mark the tires and roll her back and forth.

 

Just take it out for a ride every once in a while. Oh, wait, not every one in the country can do that.

 

It's a croc.No you will not get flat spots on your tires no matter how long it sits in one spot.

 

problem with older tires.

 

if it sits long enuff,,, it becomes a great condo for a few familys of rodents!

 

does your car get flat spots in the tires if you don't drive it for a month? maybe if you still have bias ply tires like the super swampers on my land cruiser. even if the bike tires did get flat spots it's a quick burnout to being round again.

 

Only flat spots I've been getting are when some cagers do something stupid.

 

I've experienced flat spots on large, heavy motorhomes that were parked for extended periods of time, especially in the cold weather. However, after running 10-20 miles they warmed up enough to return to their original shape.
