Got my bike up on stands for the crappy weather and it's on a trickle charge, any other advice people could give me to store it? How long should I trickle it for etc...?


Thanks

How long are you 'storing' it for?

Nothing. Keep the tank full. I wouldn't really say you are storing it. Just keep the trickle charger on it and leave it.

i really wouldn't about anything for less than 4 weeks. If its nearly due a service, do it. Brim the tank with fuel.

Is it inside, or out in the weather?

in the garage it'll be fine. Why aren't you riding it, have you become a girl ;) it's meant to be decent(ish) weather tomorrow and Tuesday

ah fair enough. The GM will be having a ride out at the end of the month most likely, feel free to join us. A thread will be made for it nearer the time

Yeah don't worry I will be out, it's just going to suck getting to Guildford on the m23/m25 with next to no wind protection lol

why use the motorway? there are other routes that are more fun from Crawley. Alternatively we meet en route

Loomies does an ok brekkie, if not there is a MCD at Petersfield. Don't worry about google time, that journey is no more than an hour
