How to Prep bike for winter

No it likes to wait until 32.

 

Wind chill does not affect inanimate objects

I'd add to throw an old sheet over it, as a dust cover
Saves a lot of cleaning come springtime

 

I killed a nearly new lawnmower once doing that. Though to be fair the gas was a few years old.

 

Do a full sbk build.

 

Or just add engine ice. Well second thought I just realized how cold we are talking here, wow not sure engine ice would do.

 

as opposed to the tank being empty?? exactly how much condensation forms over 6 months??

In NJ winters... Id drain the carb & tank... that fuel was used for the snow blower. Then when the spring rolled around...it was fresh fuel & premix. My local shop had fogging oil and they used to charge $75 to "winterize"...which was draining the fuel and fogging the cylinders plus disconnecting the battery. One of the techs loved it because he put all the drained gas into his metal cans and used it in his "plow" truck...lol. At the time Im like... its only $.8o/gallon

 

Well...good news fellas, my wife loves me. She was definitely not into the living room idea, but we settled on the mud room. Nothing in there but washer/dryer and some storage shelves. Heated just like the rest of the house. I'll call that a win.

It probably didn't hurt to bring it up after

 

Just be sure to get it writing first

 

Smart man on the last part.
