I dont worry about stuff like that. It was 30* the day I put the Buell away...that was plenty cold for me. I'll just wait till weather's decent come spring. Wish I had a garage so I could do some work on that sucker.

At our old appt the bikes were either in a carport or at my dads garage so I didnt do much work. Now I am luvin it with the attatched garage, its a lil chilly in there now but at least I can do work if need be. The buell is sleeping with a tender on it but my gsxr and aprilai are all taken apart for various projects.

Buell is washed, cleaned, fresh oil and under a cover awaiting the warm weather. Battery is in the basement on the Tender.

Nice, you add any fuel stabilizer, been meaning to get some stabil or seafoam.

Yeah, put a few ounces of Seafoam in it, filled the tank, and ran it around the block to get it circulated. I put Sta-Bil in the Buell last year and it didn't respond the way I would have liked when I got it out. So I stopped using it and haven't had issues since.

Eh, I don't have any major moto trips planned this year and the main rally is in my backyard, so I don't even travel to that this year like last year. I may take a few shorter distance trips, but I don't plan on putting on a bunch of miles on trips. Most of my vacation days this year are going to nonmoto trips. Going to NY for Thanksgiving and Mardi Gras in New Orleans, probably both by air.

Good to know, I used stabil in the past on my track bike and TL and had no issue, but will go with the seafoam for the buell just ot be on the safe side.

Not saying that was the problem...but I've used Seafoam several times with zero issue.
