| Dunks - Anyone
I live in Switzerland and I hibernate my ST4s as soon as the high passes are closed at the end of October - it then gets woken up around Aprilish. All I do is fill the petrol tank up to the brim, plug in the Opti, spray WD40 on exposed bits, put its Ducati Performance Yellow Cover over it and say goodbye. Once a month I turn the front wheel to prevent a flat spot occurring.
Now I've done this every winter since '01 and believe it or not, it starts up every time first time on full choke first press of the starter - then we're off as soon as I can shut the garage door for a full days ride to blow the cobwebs off the ST4s and my brain.
Todate the bike has suffered no side effects from this hibernation process .- it's pointless taking about what we do on carbed bikes as it's not got any. |
