Hmm, the background looks pink. I don't know why. Anyways my question is this. I bought an F4i a good month ago, it's been sitting in my garage ever since. Temperatures have been as low as -10 outside so my garage is probably pretty cold. Anyways the tank is full and I threw some methyl hydrate in. I start it up every 2 days and let it idle for atleast a half hour. Is there anything I'm doing wrong or is there anything I should be doing, please let me know thanks.

Automatic trickle charger and check coolant to make sure it'll take those temps. Otherwise sounds like you're on top of things.
Geez -- must suck not to be able to ride [:-]

It sounds like you have it covered. The only other thing i'd maybe look into is getting some stands for the bike. That way the tires are not sitting on the ground in the same spot. I'm with chain....it must suck to have cold weather and not be able to ride. LOL. Gotta love FL. Just messin with you. That has to be hard, to buy a new bike, then not be able to ride. Hopefully it will warm up for you soon. :D

Yeah I feel the same way. Brand new bike, a crap load of snow, and freezing temps. [:@]

Sounds like Ohio to me....Pack it away for half the year and get rained on for the rest.

I park my bike on the roof right next to the fireplace, that way it never gets cold.

My 900RR would overheat for that length of time in idle. I think that is a bit of overkill. I don't think you need to be idling it for that long at all. 15 minutes is plenty for my 9RR.
