I keep my bike locked up in a shed. it has no heating and i wanted to know if the cold weather that we are about to have will cause any problems to the bike at all?

Yep. The poor thing, best leave a box of tissues out with it incase it catches a cold.

No, it'll be fine. Cold starts with a bit of choke (or auto choke on the fi models).

My bike sits outside under a stormex cover and never has any troubles.

If you have no plan at all of riding it over the winter, take the battery out

I kept my bike in a shed for one winter. The only issue I had was condensation rusting the tank from underneath.

Thought it might be to do with the bike cooling in a damp space (shed had an earth floor).

I now store it under a cover outside but have not had the same problem.
