pull head to lap valves(some were stuck open before re-shimming so likely burnt), Repaint whole bike, Change all Fluids. Thats just the F4i. Gotta do the same to the F4 and then some.

Not doing anything major to mine, as I'll be riding it all winter long Gotta do a few small things though..... replace my headlight (foggy lens), replace my seat (has a small crack), finally get rid of the donkey ears for some flushmounts, and a Puig smoke windscreen

Just a question, this is my first winter with a bike so I'm not sure about winterizing. I doubt that it is cold enough here in Atlanta, but wanted to make sure. NOTE: I doubt I'll ride when the temp drops much more. Do I need to do anything to store the bike till late February?

remove battery and hook up a battery tender (i think they are only like $60), and some Stabil in the gas tank. putting it on some stands wouldnt hurt but not everyone has stands.
