Winter storage reminder!!! Drain your coolant.

Just thought I'd throw this out there as freezing temps and winter is coming close.


If you have watter wetter in your bike and store it where temps get below freezing make sure you drain it so it doesn't freeze and crack the head or cylinder jackets.

Also this new 10% ethanol gas is bad shit. I have had 3 bikes in the last month that have sat with gas in the bowl. All three of them have needed a carb clean from that shit gas. Make sure you turn off the gas to the carb if you can and at least run it dry. Even better get a wrench in there and drain the float bowl.

If you have a street bike and can't shut the gas off, get some of the new ethanol approved gas stabilizer and run it through the carbs.

Good luck!

I'm assuming Stabil sells a version of the "ethanol approved" fuel stabilizer? What brand do you use?

[GixerJockey]

Stabil Marine Formula is their ethanol approved stuff. Same bottle, white label and the liguid is greenish/blue in color.

Spectro also has a ethanol combatant formula.

How is that stuff?

This is what I have been using in the CBR for a couple of winters. I make sure to drain the bowls and haven't had any issued to date.
