What do you guys do for winterization?

open it up, get some RS cams in, slam a SBK pipe on it, spend some time on the dyno, put on the BLIP system... AND THEN WAIT FOR BL..DY WINTER TO GO OVER.... :) ....

Do you know why the dealer suggested to drain the hypermotard? They said it's because its a plastic tank. But would it matter if it's stored in a heated/moisture controlled basement?

Really appreciate the feedbacks :)

The plastic tanks can expand because of the ethanol. Instead of draining use the STA-BIL® Ethanol Fuel Treatment and Stabilizer and you will be fine. ;)

Wow,

I feel neglectful. I didn't do squat, but put a cover over her and hit the battery tender once in awhile. I didn't even put stabil in her (as I have with all the other bikes). I know I didn't top up the tank (no need to worry about alum rusting). Kick me! Lol. We shall see what the spring thaw brings.

Nah, don't feel too bad. I did the same for mine and did the same last year too. No problems, no worries. Started like a champ.

I don't really get the whole winterization thing, seems over kill to me. I ride it up until december, and by march/april I will be taking it out. They sit in show rooms for a long time and the dealers don't " winterize them. "
 
I do the same to all 5 of the bikes.. all on front and rear stands little bit of stabil in the tank.. all bikes on a Ctek battery tender except the R6 I take the alien motion battey out put covers on them all and walk away.. start them up and run them for a 20 mins every month. run them through the gears.
cant typically ride here (or im not willing) from about late November till march

If you have to put your bike away for winter what do you do to prepare it for storage?
