I live in Oklahoma and you don't want to move here.
Almost unbearable hot in summer, cold *** winters, tornadoes in the spring, rain in the fall.
I've been watching job listings in Vegas.
Hot in the summer yeah, but no humidity.. Cool nights and tons of stuff to do!

 

Chopman,

There are several schools of thought on this issue. The most commonly accepted method is:

1. Clean, Detail and Wax the bike thoroughly to remove road debris. Some people coat the chrome with WD40 or a similar product. Spray a little WD40 on your cable adjusters.

2. Remove any Leather products and store indoors.

3. Change all fluids, Engine Primary, Transmission. Your used oil is contaminated with Sulfur and Hydrocarbons.

4. Fill the Gas Tank Completely. The presence of fuel prevents moisture accumulation.

5. Add a Fuel Stabilizer. Important!

6. Run the bike until the stabilizer works through the system then close the petcock and allow the engine to die on its own when the carb empties.

7. Disconnect the Battery and if possible, store indoors. Use a battery tender. I charge my stored batteries once every 2 weeks.

8. Cover the bike with a proper Breathable Bike Cover.

 

Ha! Me too! There are a few jobs in my field but nobody will buy my house so we can't move yet. My wife wants to move to Vegas really bad too but until then its tuck her in for the winter.
But not yet. It was 70 here in New Hampshire today. I played hooky and road my fatty

 

I sure hope your fuel isn't going through your whole engine.

 

I'm going to store my fatty boy in the living room this year...already have it an electric blanket, an HDTV with TiVo, and a supply of warm milk.

 

NOW is the time to buy a house in Las Vegas but finding a job there may be tough....if you need any help out there let me know.....buddy.

 

Pretty much covers it, you can't go wrong following this advice.

 

I live in warm California and ride year round, but this sounds like the best advice I have read so far. being from Holland originally I used to store my bikes pretty much like that.
The only add on I have is that I would raise my bikes on a jack in order to keep my tires of the ground.

 

fill tank and add sea foam...ride for 25 to 50 miles park and wait for spring...carb or efi....sea foam is 10 times better then that red stuff wut you call it again?....staybill...lol

 

I just ride mine most of the winter. I keep it full of stabilized fuel and the tender hooked up to the battery just in case it sits for a month.
