I have a routine I do every year…
1. Do a deep clean of the bike and fill the tank with non-ethanol gas with 1/4 can of SeaFoam (it can be used as a stabilizer as well)
2. Change oil and Filter as well as clean and re-oil the air filter (it’s a K&N, please don’t judge me)
3. Replace with new properly gapped spark plugs, I also spray the inside of the cylinders with SeaFoam spray
4. I disconnect the battery and put it on a tender
5. Finally I put the bike on the center stand with a Jack stand under the front center member to get both tires off the ground
Now I live up in Wisconsin so, once I put my bike up for the winter, chances are it’s not coming out until Spring. But my bike fires up no problem once I take her out.
