Night night

Post by nuggitt »

Well that's my bike tucked away for the winter in its boil in the bag. 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. :D :thumbsup:

Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

Do you fill the tank to the top before hibernation?

When I saw your thread subject I got worried (sorta). Thought you might be checking out. As Spike Milligan's epitaph says "I told you I wasn't well".
Keep on keepin' on.

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?

Sincerely,

My bike isn't for the likes of you young bloods. 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. :lol: :lol: :lol: 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. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

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. :lol: :lol: :lol: :p
