Tips for Winter Storage
#22
Never have myself. Like I said, I add Seafoam to a tank and run most of that tank out getting the treated gas up into the carb. Then I always fill it back up with the appropriate amount of Seafoam to protect that tank of gas. Some years back I had an old 750 Kaw which sat in my shed for 11 years. Back then there were no 'sprays' for the cylinders, but Bardahl used to make a lube to go in your gas called 'Upper Cylinder' iirc. Before parking the Kaw I added that to the gas and ran it down to damned near empty, then added another can to the little bit of gas left, then ran it all out til the bike quit. I also pulled the plugs and shot some oil in each cylinder and turned in over a few times by hand putting the plugs back on when I was done. Of course I never thought it would be 11 yrs sitting, but when I pulled it out, r& r'd the tires, battery, oil and filter, plugs and filled it with gas, it started back up and ran great.
