Stand and deliver
 

@Tomor and Thunderputter

I need to get the bike ready for winter in the next couple of weeks so will be seeking the repatriation of stands some time next week. Happy to collect when convenient just let me know when you're done with them.

Mate, a run down of what winter prep you're doing would be interesting to hear.

I can tell you what I'm gonna do to the Ace..............add petrol.:thumbsup:

Re: Stand and deliver
 

Can pop the stand back tomorrow night if your in?

Re: Stand and deliver
 

Mine's a little more comprehensive...

Give it a half hearted clean
Hit the rims with paraffin to get them back to silverish
General check of wheel bearings, swingarm pivots etc for grumblyness
Consider new brake pads then decide they'll last a bit longer
Coat everything metal that's not brake related in ACF-50
Fit hand guards
Give chain link by link check then damn good covering in chainsaw oil to get any bits the scott oiler may have missed

Then just add petrol all winter as the bike gets gradually fatter and fatter with winter crud. Give it a jet-wash and oil change in March and it's like winter never happened.

Do the callipers generally survive unscaved?

Re: Stand and deliver
 

i was out on mine through winter last year (when it wasn't snowing) Didn't cover many miles or go far, but still a jaunt out every couple of weeks

Re: Stand and deliver
 

I do the calipers but with a rag rather than the spray.
Oh and I chainsaw oil the lever pivots, sidestand pivots, peg pivots etc

Re: Stand and deliver
 

Just add petrol!:thumbsup:
