Summer storage.

I wouldn't worry about the filter, a used filter actually works better than a new filter. If Yamaha says 12,000 miles than that's all it needs. If the filter actually gets dirty enough to need changing before hand you have other issues.

I changed my oil after break in about a month ago, and then put on another 250km. I won't be changing my oil again for storage. Waste of $80. That's what warranty is for, besides these engines are the best in the industry so I'm not too worried.

With only 36 miles on this oil change /season, I think I will be ok. What do you thInk?

You'll be fine...

I know I posted about asphalt racing in my earlier comment, but here is what I do to my other 7 sleds.

Fill to the top with premium (I only run premium in my sleds anyway). The reason for this is to eliminate the open area so condensation doesn't get in there.
Usually add just a little Isopropyl also.
I do not change oil, I put in fresh at the beginning of the season.
Start the sleds once every 2 months and let them get really warm so if there is any condensation....it will evaporate with the heat.
Rotate tracks at the very least and if I have a clean out stand I will rev the sleds with a little water on the slides.

I do not keep a battery tender on the sleds, but do put a charger on them a day before I fire them up. Never had an issue with gunked up carbs, dead battery or track/belt issues. I work on peoples sleds and from using regular (10% ethanol) you wouldn't believe how the fuel deteriorates and gunks up. Adding stable only makes it worse.

That's pretty close to what I did last year. When the I get the ecu back, I plan on dumping last year's fuel and then fill with fresh and treat. Thanks Terry.
