Leaving your bike outside in winter

I'll buy an el cheapo cover - an Oxford or summat probly. I did have one of
these before but cats kept spraying on it and I ended up binning it. What a
fucking stench!

Oh fuuuuck....

Ok dokey skipper, will do.

 

Wot a ****, GT85 is a brand name so has **** all intuitive meaning,
PJ1 is a Brake disc cleaner brand name but it could be a ABS plastic
polisher for all I know.

 

No it isn't. PJ1 is a brand, the range of products is vast - it
prolly includes ABS polish - have a look:

Don't do this.

Don't run the engine unless you need to ride the bike somewhere.

The engine won't get hot enough for long enough to get rid of the
combustion products that wind up in the crankcase or exhaust. These
are mainly water-vapour and acids, and they condense on the coldest
part of the interior of the engine, and corrode it.

Just leave the engine be; take the battery off and charge it. The cost
of an Optimate or other battery-conditioning charger need only be
about the same as a replacement battery, and you have it for future
use.

 

Top up the petrol so you don't get condensation in the tank?
