Proper summer storage

[orangecrush]

Just wondering what the proper summer storage procedure is for the sidewinder? Gas tank full or empty? Any other recommendations. Thx

I do full with stabilizer. I also drain the tank before the first run and fill with fresh.

The fuel issues are varnishing due evaporating light chains for that I use sea foam/ stabile etc and condensing water in fuel. I understand full and drain prior to first ride in fall and I am sure it works.

I usually siphon down in spring heavy sea foam then run motor then next season fill with fresh fuel. Worked for me for 30 plus years. Remember clean , oil change grease and check skid and wheel bearings & shocks.

My two cents

Funny, Snogoer has a 3 page article. I disagree with the oil change every year but each his own.

As a diesel mechanic I would say Oil changing every year is good practice. The temp changes cause condensation and get in oil. I would change in fall before season.
