Battery tender, that's it I don't worry about the gas tank too much. I run it until it's almost empty and park it.
Same here, it's starting to drop to 60f in the am and 90f in the afternoon BbRrrRr. lol
Yeah, I've seen how much hotter climates suck. People run from an air conditioned car right into their air conditioned houses while it's one beautiful day after the next in the Upper Midwest. You can have that stuff.
Besides, I transition from motorcycle to snowmobile in the winter. Gives you something to look forward to from season to season. It's also BEAUTIFUL here in Wisconsin right now with all the fall colors.
You guys really miss out I think.
1) Battery Tender
2) Sea-foam mixed into a full tank of gas (also make sure the Sea-foam is also ran into the fuel lines, etc).
3) Ideally get both wheels off of the ground to prevent flat spots. If you can't do that, move the bike a little every couple months.
4) Fresh oil change.
That's about all I do besides wash it good and cover it up.
You know sea foam is not a fuel stabilizer? It is a cleaning agent.
Wrong. See note 5 under their "Uses in All Fuels" on their webpage: Sea Foam | Tech Info - Gas Engines
It stabalizes fuel for 2 years. In additioin it does far more than other fuel additives.
I always pull my battery out and keep it in the basement on a wooden shelf. NEVER store a battery on a concrete floor.
Man, I can't imagine having to put the bike away for any amount of time. I feel for you guys. We can ride all year round here and to boot, is starting to warm up heading toward summer.
