I left my bike outside all winter and cx'd the oil this AM. It looked to me like the first shot of liquid to come out was dirty water. Def not oil, thats fer sure. Was this because it was out all winter? I rode it in the winter... the longest time it sat was 5 weeks. what the dilly yall. did I do any damage?

 

what you doing leaving your bike out, shame on you, you better repent!you are not worthy[sm=pcwhack.gif]

 

The owner's manual for my 2004 discusses this subject.... read the manual?

 

Sounds like simple condensation in the tank... Water will migrate to the low point in the reservoir.Had the water/oil mixed, you'd have had a milkshake if there was any significant amount ofwater.

You're probably better off leaving the thing cold all winter rather than putting it through heat cycles. Just like the water collects on the insides of your windows (warm house, cold outdoors), the same thing can happen with your oil tank. (Warm oil inside, cold environment outside)

I'd reckon you'll be fine.

 

maybe not enough of it, but yeah. Also watched the fixmyhog vid, and a third party book. nothing about this. Whatever. goin ridin. peace n!ggaz.
