Title: That time of year??
Post by: chefod on November 12, 2005, 06:11:40 AM
It's that time of  year we just had our first snowfall, now it's time to put the bike away, what should i be doing, filling the tank adding stabilizer, changing oil and filter, lubricating all moving points, removing the battery, and someone mentioned removing the plugs and spraying fogging oil in, anything else that i'm missing?

From the GS500 FAQ at http://gstwin.variders.com

Q: How do I properly winterize my bike?

A: Adam Glass has written an excellent tutorial for winterizing any motorcycle. It applies very well to the GS and can be found here:

But to answer your question more directly, how about some kind of physical security for it?  :dunno:

Deserving the title "Emperor of Ales" (unlike the bourgeois "King of Beers"), Imperial is the strongest and fullest of all stouts. Imperials originally were brewed with large quantities of hops and a high alcohol content to withstand long, unrefrigerated journeys. Rogue Imperial Stout, considered the high end of stouts, is made of 2-row Great Western Harrington & Klages, Hugh Baird XLT-80, Black, Munich and Chocolate Malts; Willamette, Cascade and Chinook hops; rolled oats; and two secret ingredients. Unfiltered and unfined, Imperial Stout is best when aged for one year. Imperial Stout is available in a new 12-ounce bottle (replacing the older 7-ounce XS-line package) and on draft.

Measurements: 26 degrees Plato, IBU 88, Apparent Attenuation 73, Lovibond 256, 11% ABV.
No Chemicals, Additives, or Preservatives
