One more thing I would sometimes do is pull the plugs and spray in a little fogging oil and then move the bike around a little in 5th gear, thereby moving the pistons, and then put the plugs back in. A little overkill, but for those who like overkill it's one more thing to do.

 

Uh oh, lawnmowers come with instructions???

 

Funny topic; I did mine yesterday! I took a long ride and emptied the tank. ON the way home I stopped for gas. The 5 gal FB tank would use 1OZ of Stable and I use just a bit more. USE THE BLUE STABLE: it is "Marine" but it is made to deal with the Ethanol, etc and is a far better product than the standard for all winterization. We use it in the toy cars too. Anyway after that, either a trickle charger or pull the batteries as stated above. Then cover it so you won't be tempted to ride on ice!

 

Use Sea Foam


Alot better than Stabil

 

Winter sure sux.. put my mistress to bed for 6-7 months.... I'm looking into southern NM, lived there before and rode year round. Vegas gets some serious winds jan-feb time frame. Sea Foam, battery tender, lovingly caressed and waxed, covered up. Man.... every year when it gets cold I can hear my baby cry..... she misses me....
