| These days I always lay the bike up for the winter. This is what I have done;
Take the battery off and given it a trickle charge once a month. I'd use an Optimiser if I had one.
Change the oil before laying it up.
Drain the tank and run the engine until it stops so there is no petrol left to gum up jets etc. This was fine with a carb bike but should be OK for an injection one as well.
Remove the tank and store it in the attic - a stable dry environment and well out of harm's way.
A squirt of thin oil down each plug hole, turning the engine a couple of times to spread it about.
A plastic bag over the end of each exhaust with and elastic band to seal out condensation.
A light spray of WD40 over exposed metal parts.
Push the brake cylinders all the way in to protect them from condensation.
Put the bike on stands to keep the tyres off the ground so they don't get flats on them.
Turn the engine over once a week or so to keep the belts from developing a "set".
That's all I can think of - apart from putting a cover over the bike of course.  |
