Lots of folks do it, just make sure it's not sitting right next to your gas furnace. If everything is right on your scoot there shouldn't be any fumes coming out.

Before my father had his garage built he would keep his in the basement. Had no problems with the fumes. If I recall correctly I think there might of been a couple years when it stayed in the dining room as well.

I've been keeping 3-5 Bikes in My basement for 7 yrs and no problems to date, Don't fire them up down there after they have been sitting all winter wait untill you get them out side, It takes awhile to get that smell out.

Where to keep the bike for the winter
years ago I put my bike in the kitchen for the winter. My young bride complained, so I moved it into the bedroom. Now I'm older and wiser. She has her own FLSTC and she parks it in the living room right next to my FLHTC..... Just kidding, we ride year round. Don and Pam
