Got the oil and filter changed, Put the stabilising fluid in the petrol tank, then ran the engine to empty the carbs. I even managed to change the antifreeze too. I gave it a good clean and polish up, all I need now is for spring to arrive. _________________ Bit of advice.

I learnt that many years ago when my daughter left her tank almost empty on her Kawasaki gpz 250 and I’ve never seen so much rust in a petrol tank. When she came to start it up it it wasn’t playing at all. You can imagine the work we had on sorting the carbs out. [/quote] _________________ Bit of advice.

Nuggitt, What have you done about the battery during storage? One of my largest problems is keeping the batteries charged and healthy in all of my bikes. In my case, with so many bikes, some bikes get out very infrequently. I have several trickle chargers (but not enough for all of the bikes). So, I move them around every couple weeks to make sure all the bikes keep a charge. Although I drive my FZR & FJR very frequently (more than all the other bikes), those are also wired for a trickle charger..... Just wondering if you've made arrangements for the battery?

That’s the only bit of my bike my wife will let me bring into the house. It’s stashed away in one of the wardrobes/closet and it will be getting charged at regular intervals. _________________ Bit of advice.

The dishwasher is very useful for cleaning engine parts, airbox, small plastic items etc etc. Aaaaaaaaggggghhhhhh, hello Mrs Nuggitt, didn't notice you lurking in the corner. Errrrrrr, I'll be gone now. _________________ Keep on keepin' on.

I mean you wouldn't give a 5 year old a razor blade to play with would you so why would I let you loose on my powerful bike. I think at your young age you ought to start with a nice 300cc and go through the ranks up to a bigger 1000cc bike. I now you've had an FZR1000 before but I think with the speeds you got up to on our rides out I'm sure it was a detuned one. I'll have a sniff round for you so get saving up young man. Have you thought about selling your body to science, on second thoughts having been in your company I wouldn't bother karl. _________________ Bit of advice.
