Do you fog the motor when you winterize your bike

[cdsdave]

How many of you northern riders pull the plugs and put oil or fogging fluid in the cylinders for the long off season.

Yep, I can't answer this as I don't put her up. Worst case, if the weather dips, I still takes her out for an hour or so ride once a week. Usually, I can still commute as long as the temps stay above freezing (heated gear FTW!)

Living in Southern Florida it's not something I need to worry about. But if I ever move up north and need to park the old girl for 2-4 months that will be something I will do for sure. I'll squirt WD-40 in the stack until the engine die... (all 4 cylinders) All that with a full tank of ethanol free gas if you can get some. I get some from a marina here... I'm sure you can get some too. Race gas you do the same job.

I've never done that to any of my motorcycles. I just put fuel stabilizer in a full tank, change the oil and tender the battery. This past spring the 6R fired right up.

This winter I won't have to tender my batteries since I sprung for LiFe batteries.

Not bothered last two years and my bike is normally out of action for about 4 to 5 months.

Not even bothered with fuel stab, I just empty the tank normally with a long last ride.

first ride before turning on I pour a gallon of fresh unleaded in, turn it on and let it run for a bit,

Not had a problem so far, don't even bother with a battery tender. My mate does... Yet he still ends up replacing his battery.

I have a 25min commute one way, rode last winter and so far this winter most days due to it being my only transportation except the fiance's car... lowest I've hit is 22°F, don't think I would want to go below 20° with my current gear (i.e. jeans and a couple jackets
:/ )

I used to, but my bikes are off road only about four to five months. If I were storing one for longer I definitely would fog the cylinders. I just put the last one to bed on Friday. (I kept the battery in the Venture last year, but I don't think I will be riding through this winter.)

With a bike that does not have cast iron cylinders, I dont see much point in it. I've never heard about any corrosion issues with the nickasil plated aluminum cylinders.

My bike gets started and run at least twice a month even during the winter months. Plus I put fuel treatment in and run it through the bike before she sits for a couple weeks at a time.

Mine gets a nice bath before she's put away, full tank with fuel stabilizer, a fresh oil change, battery tender, and a motorcycle cover. Leaving your tank empty is a bad idea because moisture can build up and then you can get water in the system (trust me I learned the hard way this year with my boat)

Like others,,, I keep the tank full of stabilized gas,change oil in the fall and keep a battery tender on. Usually get out at the very least, twice a month during the winter.
