I want to take it out of it Hibernation for a few days - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

veteq · 11-14-2004, 10:12 AM

A week ago, the forcast was predicting temps is the low to mid 30's. Based on this info, I decided to put the bike away for the winter. I added stabilizer to a full take, disconnected the battery and placed it on a 2A changer.
Now they are forecasting temperatures to be in the 50's for the next few days. Can I just put it back on the road with the fuel stabilizer in the tank and add some more stabilizer when I am ready to put it away again? I never used "stabilizer" before and I am not sure if there is a procedure that needs to be followed to put it back on the road.

Running it with stablizer in the fuel is no problem. I have done so on many different types of vehicles and even large generators. When you store it again just be sure to follow directions and don't use too much stablizer.

When you put the bike back in storage for a while be sure to change the oil before you put it in storage. Also, change the oil when you take it out of storage if it has been stored for a few months.

thank you for your quick reply. I wanted to make sure I wasn't damaging anything.
I just got the oild changed (300 km/h ago) and will be changing
it again in the spring time.
