Leaving the bike for a month

[Rhiwbina_Squirrel]

I'm going away in just under a week for a month. There's no one I know that can take it out and ride it, so, what do I need to do to the bike, if anything? Thanks in advance

Nothing at all. It'll be fine and dandy :thumbsup:

(most bikers probably don't even use their bike that often ;))

Drain all of the petrol and put it in the tank on my bike.

Drain all of the petrol and put it in the tank on my bike followed by a lit match. Run.

Should be ok, if anything you could hook it up to an Optimate?

A month? You make it sound like a lifetime.

The BillyC minimal-work advice would be:
Park bike usual. Go. Come back after a month. Key in ignition, start bike first time. Everything fine.

If not fine, then there was something wrong with your bike anyway - find out what it is and fix.

:D

You may find you need to charge the battery when you get back to it, a month isn't too bad

If you have problems with your battery after a month, then I think there were problems afoot that needed fixing anyway.

As said before... just leave it, if it starts and runs fine then everything was probably okay to start with.

Yep, as others say, it'll be fine, just leave it as it is. It's only on bikes where the battery is on its last legs that a month parked up might finish it off, but given how new your bike is, this won't be a problem.
