RE: Vermin in the air filter!
#18



When I store my bikes for the long haul, a month or more, due to my job as a sailor... I follow a simple routine. Get some knee high nylons. Fill with some mothballs. Hang one on the front right handle bar and the other on the left rear turn signal. Cover the exhaust with a bag or plug. Then cover the bike with a motorcycle cover. Then roll up the bottom of the cover and use a Hand Clamp to hold it shut. I have done this for over 30 years and never a problem till once I waited too long to renew the mothballs and I saw evidence of some that tried to live there.

Some of my bikes stay like this for over 2 years at a time. Yes you need to renew the mothballs from time to time.
