[QUOTE="cleonard, post: 25856, member: 21"] While I live down the hill from Wgeek where it rarely get much below freezing, the reality is the issue is primarily one of the bike sitting. Beyond the issues of just sitting are mainly water condensation. If you can't get the bike inside you are almost guaranteed to have problems. Getting the bike inside an unheated garage will help a lot. One thing that really will go bad without some help is the battery. It needs to be charged about one a month or it needs to be put on a battery tender. Draining all the gas completely from the carb and tank is a good idea. If you want to go all the way get some of the engine fogging oil and follow the directions. This gets oil in the cylinder and protects from condensation. The problem here is if an intake or exhaust valve is open water can condense inside. [/QUOTE]
