Hi members of good TASTE......
I am trying a new job interstate with the hope moving there.
I will be taking my Hondas XL's but not my CB.
The bike will have had the 2nd. service and as yet not dun 3728.2271534240035 Miles. (6000km). Why so many numbers?
I have read and heard of waxing and the service.
My main worries are the tank, injectors, anything else?
I am keeping the bike, any Ideas?.
Regard
Enzo
Run it till out of gas, remove tank, remove fuel pump, place pump in jar of kerosene. Store tank upside down in dry location, change oil, and filter, remove battery. Plug exhaust. Other ideas members?

Anything under 2 years, fill the tank with ethanol free gas if available, add Marine Stabil as recommended. Run the bike for 10 minutes. Change the oil and filter. Pull the plugs inject a small amount of oil to the cylinders. Pull the battery and store in a controlled environment. Put bike on center stand and raise both wheels off the ground. You should be good to go.
What about those motorcycle Ziploc-type bags with the desiccant bags (anti-moisture)?
Yep used it on my BMW when it was in storage for 12 plus years. Worked great, but a dry place is best.

Send it to me, then I disconnect the speedo, fill with fuel, abuse for 2 years and return to you in more or less the same condition, minus the dents from where it "fell over in its oxygen tent".
Don't know about the zip-lock bag....It's in the mail Tortuga.
Thanks fellas.
Also enzo, put the bike on the center stand and reduce the PSI in the tires to about half way. If it's going to be stored on a cement floor, put cardboard, wood-panel or a rubber mat underneath the bike.
Why reduce tire pressure?

Saves the tyres having to go flat on their own.
Seriously though it's so the rubber isn't under as much pressure, in theory makes it less likely to dry/perish than if it's 'relaxed' if that makes sense.
