The fuel won't freeze, but when there is space in the tank, you COULD get condensation which is something you don't want in your fuel.

 

Not true..

What a WEIRDO your neighbor is. Ask him if he believes in ghosts.

This myth was started by our friends at the MoCo so they could sell you their rubber parking pad for $5.75

 

Hay the next thing he will be telling you is to pull his finger while he passing gas. He,s out ofhis mind.

 

Save your old batteries and place them around your jiffy stand, works for me. Oh and if you wanna find out if your concrete is the conductive type, grab the 110 hot wire stand on concrete (bare feet). Let us know!!!!

 

I use an adjustable trickle charger on my scoot, that way I can be sure the electric current flows in at a rate congruent to the rate of leakage of current down the jiffy stand into my concrete floor. But the best thing about this set-up is that outside the garage, in my pansy flower bed, it makes earthworms come to the surface so that I can go fishin' while the scooter battery is being restored to its full amperage.

i'll tell ya what the jiffy stand does do. . .it F's up your damn drive way cement big time. . . .

 

Actually it was true about 50 years ago when batteries were made out of a carbon plastic.
these would drain to ground through the case, that's why dad and grandpa never set them
on directly on concrete.
But the new plastics (since the 60's) don't have that problem.
and since there is no direct connection between the neg and pos terminals when the battery
is not hooked up it isn't the resistance there that drains it.
Just a normal breakdown of the electrolytic chemical reacting against the metal in the plates.
But when battery is hooked up in the newer bikes (fuel injected) it is referred to as a parasitc draw.
The ECM draws current and so does the radio even when key is off. and over the course of time will drain battery.
I have a stock 01 EG (original) that I removed in about feb 2002 and put on shelf in back porch
(not heated), no tender.
Put it back in bike (after rebuild) in Mar 2007. Still had 4.89 volts in it. slow charged on and off for a few days volts came up to 11 +. (should of wrote down but didn't).
Switched charger to boost and started bike. Took charger off and volt guage was reading 14.5 in a few minutes.
Granted I will probably need to replace soon as it most likley won't hold a charge for long.

 

I gotta brige for ya if you buy that one
