Unfortunate circumstances are forcing me to put my 2014 CB in storage for a minimum of 2 years. Being that it will sit for so long + I won't be around + nor will have anyone that I trust available to tend to it = what is the 'best' way to leave it parked?
The cb will be in Coloradao = dry hot/cold weather.
The storage unit is climate controlled, they guarantee inside temp of 55-85 deg F.
My initial thought was= fresh oil, no gas at all (it's very dry in CO especially in winter), take battery out, lower the tire pressure, put on center stand, and cover. But I saw [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1512]this detailed thread which seems to be for winter (3-6 month) storage. Is there anything different I should do for 2 year storage? what is the advantage of putting oil in the cylinder heads?
Any thought's and advice is greatly appreciated.
