    the reason for stands is the temperature of the concrete floor in the winter, prolonged contact with cold surfaces tend to make the rubber hard if you dont have stands get a cheapo rug or chunk of carpet to park your bike on
    If your gonna be dumb you gotta be tough

    Re: Long-term/Winter Storage tips

    Excellent post and thanks for the info. I am new to sport bikes but own snowmobiles so I was going to store mine away much like I do my sleds. Tell me if I am missing something
    Put the bike on carpet
    Fog the carbs
    Sta-bilt in the tank and carbs
    Air up the tires
    Lube up the zyotes (can not spell but know they are grease nipples)
    Wash/Wax really well
    Cover

    Then in spring I will do the full service with the filters/plugs/fluids
