Storage advice?
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 |

Re: Need advice!
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.

Re: Need advice!
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?
