Winter Battery Maintenance

I've also put a few drops of oil in each cylinder. That OK?

I'm not sure what a few drops of oil will do except sit on the piston until the next start up, and then just burn away. I believe a regular start up and 10 mins warm up which puts the oil where it is needed is much more beneficial.

There's lots of different views and reasons for doing or not doing certain things but when something works for you and gives you peace of mind its ok.

I often wonder why people do so many things for a few months storage when there are bikes/cars sitting in dealers etc for much longer periods without fuel stabilizer or tyres off the ground, I used to do all the above and more Undecided Big Grin
