Cold Engine / Exhaust

[Squidley]

 

One last question, though...if we just happen to get a Winter like we did 3 or 4 years ago (when I golfed on Boxing Day), is there any harm in driving the bike with that Sta-bil crap in the tank? I'm assuming not....otherwise we'd all have to hold our bikes by the heels in the Spring and shake 'em upside down!!)

 

Thanks again,

Mike

 

 

Mike,

You can run it with that in there, your gonna have to sooner or later. It will probably run like crap as I find my 1st big ride of the year I want to run that tank out of it and start with fresh. I too try to go for a ride on January 1st, as long as the roads are dry and have been free from salt for a while. If the day is above freezing and sunny....I'm going for a ride!

Hey.......I like that January 1st idea, Brad.

 

That's way better than standing on the back porch at midnight and firing off the Remington 12 guage! (although THAT can be fun, too!)

I don't know where I posted this, but on the whole I do nothing, maybe just because I'm lazy, but I don't do anything to it. Just let it sit til spring.

 

IMHO This is bad advice and asking for trouble... One of these days you're going to be pulling your carbs to clean them... I use Sea Foam to stabilize my gas and have had no springtime starting issues.
