Lets say I change the oil and filter on my bike and fill it with gas with stabil and set it up on my stands and take out the battery and cover the exhaust and intake so it's ready for winter and then all of a sudden it's like 60 degrees in December. Is it ok to take the bike out for a day or several days thought winter if there happens to be a nice warm sunny day in there somewhere? If I take it out and plan on restoring it and don't know if it will be used again until spring do I have to rechange the oil and all that stuff too?

It's a choice you have to make. Of course, you need to fill it back up and add the stabil, but the oil is something you have to decide on your own. It's best to have fresh oil but will a couple of miles or a few hundred will hurt??? I think it's better to use the bike a little than let it sit all winter so I say no... it's doesn't hurt.

 

Bah, iT'll be fine. 60* is perfect riding weather.

 

Ok thanks guys. Now I just hope we have a very mild winter in Wisconsin. =)
