Winterizing question.

[Ron2andia]

Just got here and have tp put her away soon for the winter. Bought a Deltran battery tender jr.. a dealer told me to put in Yamaha fuel stabilizer run it a few miles then park it. Advice please. Is this the move...?

[coastrider]

That will do it. Add the stabilizer, top it up, and ride it for fifteen minutes to get it through the fuel system. Others might elaborate and suggest additional precautions against everything from mice to dust, to doing a fresh oil change and each suggestion has its place, but if you do only what you dealer suggested, the bike should be fine in the spring. Good luck!

I like to put steel wool in the exhaust pipes and some moth balls around the Spyder, seems to keep the mice out. Beside that, stabilizer and I lube up the latches etc. and battery tender.

I had always used Sta-Bil in the past; but have been having pretty good luck with StarTron in recent years!

Dryer sheets work well also

They're also easier to pick up in the SpringTime...

Just keep riding. Put on extra layer and off you go.

Easy enough to do... until they start salting the roads!

I use StarTron also.
Nice thing about StarTron is that you can accidentally put too much in your tank and it will not hurt anything.
I use it for all my gas motors.

Critters do not like the smell.

Use them in my motor home and have not had an issue with mice ect.

AH-NO-1 In the summer time if you rub dryer sheets on your arms, legs and neck area, mosquitoes will note bite/sting you.
