    Winter storage is a leading cause of PMS aka Parked Motorcycle Syndrome. Known to cause depression and irritability among motorcycle owners. Only known treatments are trips to warmer climates, watching movies involving motorcycles, and being flashed with boobs........

    I just keep mine ready for the random warm days in Colorado winters. The weather here is bipolar so I can't just store them away.

    I like to fill the tank and dose with the proper amount of sta-bil before storing as well. I could be wrong but I think having extra air space in the tank allows for condensation/moisture to collect and potentially lead to surface rust.

    It's still a tank though and if it's steel still susceptible to rust, even if it's not on the motorcycle. Fill it to the tippy top and set it somewhere.

    I typically get all the gas and fumes out before cutting or welding on metal ;) haha


    EDIT: I know you didn’t know that. I have a dent in my tank and figured I’d spend the winter playing around with tape and lines and decide if I have time to chop it up or not. Might do, might not, we’ll see.

    Fun fact: I have a lot more suspension travel than I thought I did!

    322C3AA8-5E83-466A-9ECC-BCD1EDA733CE.jpg

    S2 made contact with my fender as I got a little too aggressive hitting a speed bump. Good news is the suspension felt great except for that last little clunk at the end. Guess I should move the light though.
