NYBagger92, I have a spray can of the ACF50. I used it alot on my last bike but one thing I found is that it catches and holds a lot of dirt and grime. At least it seemed that way to me. I use it on my 04 Fatboy wheels but I spray a cloth and wipe it on but mostly just on the aluminum wheels. I will ride in the winter but only when the streets are clear of salt which isn't very often in the winter where I live.

 

Throw a tender on it and be done with it. Don't start it unless you plan on riding for a while so everything heats up.

 

It wil catch some dirt, and grime.
I wash the EG about once every two weeks in the winter. I use simple green, or dawn and everything comes off. I reapply with the spray bottle, cloth and small brushes. It keeps the salt from eating away at the scoot. I don't have the luxury of putting the bike away all winter, as it is my daily. My wife has her car, and I gave up mine to have the EG. I put the bike away a few days at a time when the snow is on the roads. One the roads are clear... I ride. The ACF50 keeps the water and salt from eating the bike. YMMV.

 

No need to winterize here in New Orleans, winters last about two weeks here. It may get a little cold over night, 30's, but always up in the 40s and 50s during the day.

 

What is winter, here in AZ we ride all yr long unless your to scared to ride in a lil cold, and need one of these

 

Battery Tender, space heater. Over 35*and no salt, that's ridin' weather. She rarely sits more than a couple of weeks at a time.

 

Yeah, what Spyder said!

 

I'm in New England too (Maine). I change the oil/filter, fill her up w/fresh 93 octane and stabilizer. Attach the tender and cover her up for the duration.

 

I'm a New Englander also, and the best thing to do is put StarTron gasoline stabilizer in the fuel tank and run it for 5 to 10 minutes.
Put some sort of battery tender on the bikes battery, and cover. A Spray waxing will do to fight off any corrosion and rust.
You can change the oils come Spring, and by doing it this way, you'll be getting rid of any water from condisation from storing, and will be all set for the new riding season come Spring.

I live in KY now but when I lived in NY I did almost all the above PLUS put my bike on a jack to get the tires off the ground, not real sure why. Someone told me it was a good idea so I did it. That way you don't need to bother with putting winter air in them or something....LOL ... I really did jack her up though.
