Ok, I am ready for all the abuse you can give me.

Ok, I went to our local "Toy Run" today and everything was fine. Cold as hell but ok. I live in N. Seattle but the run was in Olympia. Not sure exactly the mileage but it is atleast 50miles away.?. On my way home it started snowing. I was able to limp it home to the bottom of the street I live on. The rodes were good except my street. Dead end with almost no traffic. I had to park it at the bottom of the hill.

The snow is supposed to stop soon and turn to rain.

My question is. Do I have to worry about it freezing? It is currently 30 degrees out, but forecast said it will warm soon and turn to rain.

Will it freeze?????? I would hate to loose this due to a stupid mistake.

 

Hmmm, idk. i know I wouldnt want mine left out in those kinda conditions. maybe throw a few quilts/blankets over it and strap them if possible so they are tight around the bottom. do you're best to keep the wind/rain off it (if you dont have a cover). sorry i couldnt be of more assistance.

dont beat yourself up and expect flaming. you're die hard brother, lol! im riding here in MD in the low 30's in the A.M. on my way to work each day. you're a real trooper [8D]lol.

 

Be more worried about someone stealing it. I would not worry about the weather.

 

Luckily for him theft goes down in the cold weather. Lazy *** thieves.

If you got a decent tree near by I'd put some good size chain and lock around the swingarm and wheels. Though it's not impossible for someone to jack that it will atleast be harder.

Or if you are needing new tires and really really reeeeaaaaaalllly don't want to leave your bike. You can take the tires off and put screws throught the bottom then take it home. Of course you'll need to replace your tires but whatever works for whomever I guess.

 

hey, dont worry about it. you can leave it out side for a good while.
i would say that once your city hits 40oF than start it up again.
the f4i is a freaking champ, im not even going to say at what temp and how long left it outside for since no one will believe me.
if you park indoor than dont even stress anything.

 

+1 On the chain. I just chained it up with the chain I use to lock up my job boxes on the job sites. HUGE links and locks. Hopefully that works.

I am worried about the local little brats knocking it over though. We get allot of f-in brats doin stupid stuff like, t-pee-in houses keying cars. I put up cameras to catch the little bastards. I dont get it. Its a nice neighborhood, never had this kind of crap when I lived in the sh*thole areas of Sacramento. Guess these kids gotnothing better to do.

 

not to be a dick, but i am glad i live in socal.

when i lived in MO. i always drained everything covered it and garaged it.

if you can chain it up i would do that.

remember these things are more sentimental than a girlfriend,maybe she should stand out there all night and watch it for you

**edited for all use of capital letters**

 

as long as you are running on proper mix of coolant you have absolutely nothing to worry about

well other then theft and abuse

 

I was not aware I couldnt use all caps....oooopppss

 

you can use all caps... IF YOU'RE YELLING AT SOMEONE!!!

anyways man just follow these guys lead and chain it up. If it's as difficult to move as you say it is hopefully a crook won't waste their time... the biggest thing a criminal has to worry about is being out in the open for long periods of time. not sound, not locks, just time. the longer they have to spend the less likely they'll do it
