Winter Storage?

Now that it is getting colder, I won't be riding my Hyper very much, maybe once every couple of weeks or so on a warmer day.

Is there anything I should do to my bike other than keeping it connected to a battery tender when it won't be ridden but one or twice a month?

Thanks for your help.

yep, stabil goes in all three bikes, lawmower, weewacka, leaf blower, etc. If you can get the bike up off the ground, I have heard that you can prematurely degrade your tires by leaving it parked on cold concrete for several months. I've not experienced this, but I've heard it happens.

Fog engine. Change oil if more than 500 miles on it or if it is dark. To fog engine disconnect evap canister, start bike, shoot fog in booth tubes till fogs out exhaust, reconnect cannister or throw away.
