I'm about to put my 600RR away for the winter

But I thought it would be awesome to have it stored in my bedroom. Space isn't an issue, but I am worried about my safety. How worried do I have to be about fumes and such? Any precautions I should take?

Would emptying the fuel tank completely be a bad idea (rust, etc?)

 

I keep mine in the living room during the winter. Don't drain or anything, never noticed any fumes or smells. I have tires in there too, they smell more than anything.

On long road trips, I always pull the bike into the hotel room and have had no issues.

 

everybody thought i was crazy when i parked mine in the apartment. glad to know i'm not the only one.

just dont smoke out your house right next to the bike

 

Just dont do any burnouts inside the house lol. I had mine in my living room it never smelt or anything.

 

no issues here i had 2 bikes in my bedroom along the wall during the winter no problems or bad smells sometimes catch a rubber smell but a airfreshner took care of that plus it was nice to wake up and see the bikes first thing everyday lol also kinda depressing cause i couldnt ride lol

 

I've stored my bikes in the living room for 3 years without any issues. The only time I have any smells is right after I am finished riding it and pull it in the house.

 

Awesome! Thanks guys

I think it will be a pretty sweet bedroom piece haha

Any winterizing I'd have to do other than battery removal? Seeing as its going to basically be in a nice hot room all winter.

 

Now I'll sound crazy, but I took it a step further, and mounted a PVC pipe in the wall with an exterior cap that I can remove and on the inside, connect a hose to it and to the exhaust so I can run the bike from time to time. Put it on front and rear stands. So, I don't do anything to it, really. Connect a battery tender maybe, but I can change oil, etc.
