Spring can't come soon enough
 

I just got my bike new last spring. I am amusing myself during these short cold days by thinking forward to when I can ride daily again.

Since this is the first spring I am taking the bike out of its 4-month stay indoors, what procedures should I plan on doing to it before the first ride?

I have it hooked up to the HD Smart Battery Tender, so that is taken care of, but what else is typical pre-season maintenance?

Thanks.

FUEL STABILIZER!! The last thing you want is to have old gas sitting and gumming everything up.

Question about fuel stabilizer: I bought a bottle of it, but it says to run the engine for 5 minutes. The bike is already garaged, so I can't really run it in there, and snow precludes taking it out.

Any value to just adding the stabilizer to the tank, period?

Also, is stabilizer really necessary for 4 months (2 of which are gone already)? Others have told me it's only valuable for longer storage.

better safe than sorry is my opinion.

Yuk! just ride it when you can.

I rode today, high was 40 deg.
