Speedy recovery
I was going to try and ride through the winter. I was determined it can be done. But after two weeks of no riding due to snow and crap on the road, I've come to the conclusion that I should just get her stored for the winter. There is just too much sand and salt on the roads here through the winter to ride. Not saying it cant be done, but I just don't want to put myself or my bike through that.
Here's my checklist, let me know if I missed anything.
Oil, less than 500 miles on Motul synthetic. I'm just going to leave it in.
Gas, top off, add stabil.
Tires, inflate to 40 psi, put her on the center stand.
Wash, wax, cover, lock.
Battery, here's where it gets tricky. I live in an apartment with covered parking. No outlet by the bike. I have a tender, but obviously need to remove the battery to use it. How can I do that with a full tank of fuel? I can remove it with the tank almost empty, the fill with a gas can. But then I have to put it back with a full tank. Any advice?
