Our bikes were put away last weekend also! Pretty much the same process although I didn't cover it and it was cleaned the day before. Plus I don't do the oil in the cylinders bit... *thinking*
Also that amount of stabil, I thought it was 1 oz to 2.5 gallons? not 1oz to 1 gallon... But I could be wrong. might have to dump some more in!
I pull the battery out of the bike and bring it in the house for the winter and charge it every other month instead of putting a tender on the battery in the bike. There is something about creating a nice warm spot for rodents to get at to keep warm in the winter... That tender and or battery... maybe that doesn't happen but I am not taking a chance.
Oh and to the smart one from Phoenix, I used to live in Yuma and we rode YEAR ROUND, even in the 120 degree days, so this is tough having to park for winter and if we are lucky here, pull it out in March/April time frame... One year I was riding in February but that is the rare occasion when it warms up fast... I saw your post on that other thread... Ran away from the winters did you?
