What's your winter Maintenance?

Just thinking..........

Wouldn't it be lovely if you blokes hibernated along with your bike.....

Less mess to clean up, cheaper food bills & sole control of the remote ahhh bliss

 

Then who's going to clean the car

 

You clearly have faaaaarrrrrrr too much time on your hands these days Lozzy. ......

 

Yep turn the heating on should do it.

Mine is just going in for the 16,000 mile service - a bit ahead of schedule, but get it done out of the way.

New tyres fitted so nice and grippy for the winter, instead of the square bald ones that were on there before.

Must get a rear hugger.

The main thing is not to ride the coast road when the waves have come over the sea wall, and the salt water is all over the road.

 

Now if I didn't have the missus this is how my dining room would look!

 

Well it's obvious you need your other half to tidy up for you, if you can't work a duster you would have no chance with a remote [emoji13]

 

while I am a teeny bit jealous of keeping the bike so dry, warm and clean...I don't know if I could not swing my leg over every day...

 

Have not got much to do , Not been out much this year, Just a clean , oil change, fit the repainted upper cowl. Then mot an tax .Buy new helmet .

 

What additive do you put in ???

 

What oil and filter do you guys use just won these on twitter but don't know if they are any good

 

Good oil putoline and hiflo filters are spot on.

 

Can't remember what it is called but is is to try and help stop the bio part of fuel going to water.

 

I'm led to believe that if you add water to your petrol in a jerrycan, give it a good shake, the bio dissolves into the water, the water drops to the bottom of the can, after a while you siphon off the water and you end up with bio free petrol.
Can anybody else confirm this?

 

Hi mate I add putoline fuel stabilizer to my bike £10 from the bike shop .just add it to a full tank and run the bike till its warm job done

 

What are the benefits of using this???

 

It stops the fuel crystalIzing if it's not run with being put away .I suppose it's a personal thing I've always put it in and had know issues later on

 

I had my bike washed and ACF50'd... it was nice and clean for like 1 day, now a week later it's covered in crap again
But at least there's a protective barrier between the bike and the elements lol

 

With the Acf50 do you just spray it all over the bodywork and leave it ????

 

I put it on nearly everything apart from obviously braking surfaces etc. Be careful spraying because it 'creeps' I use a cloth & small brush dipped in some I spray in a dish for some parts. It goes 's long way. Great stuff tho I always use it
