Don’t be a Hero, be consistent.
I only get to the track for one full weekend a year or maybe two weekends if I’m lucky. I used my FZ6 until this last year when I began using a track only CBR600RR. Storage was never an issue with the FZ6 because I ride it to school 5 days a week and every weekend during the summer when teaching a MSF course.
Current storage method for the CBR600RR is as follows.
I run non ethanol gas, so I top off the tank and treat it with the correct amount of stabil gas treatment. I run the engine long enough to treat the entire fuel system. I check all other fluids, put the bike up on front and rear stands, disconnect the battery and I steal tires from it to put on my FZ6. I will put on new tires a week or 2 before I leave for the track. I put a piece of cardboard underneath the bike to see if it drips during storage and perform any necessary maintenance. This way I’m as ready as can be when the time comes to get my fix at the track.
So the question are, is this the best way to store a bike for approximately a year?
Can I do something better?
