Hi again, lets try this one more time & see if this comment gets deleted by the TH-cam AI , If you see on your post, both comments I wrote yesterday are gone , even the one you 'liked' on, its really annoying, & has happened before, Thanks for your comment on mine & sorry for TH-cam messing around with our new channel acquaintance. I was still subbed though which is strange 🤔
Just use some sea fome in ur bike for a few rides..That all I do..and my bike runs fine come spring. AND GO START UR BIKE ONCE A MONTH AND PUT A MAINTAINER ON THE BATTERY. ITS GOOD TO GO!! 5:59
@@SpokedInTheEyeMoto The battery maintainer is a must. Don't get the cheapest one. Had a cheap Canadian Tire unit that boiled my battery dry. I've never done anything with the gas. Never had any problems so far.
Well, disregard the end of my comment in the “5 things I learned” video. Now I see you’re not able to ride year-round. I would help if this was an area I had knowledge, but alas I’m ignorant of this practice. It sounds like you’re on the right track by researching it. Considering the popularity of the KLR 650 I would search for an online KLR owner forum to consult fellow KLR owners. My guess would be a fuel stabilizer cycled through the system before storage would be sufficient and as another commenter mentioned, keep the battery on a trickle charger.
For my penny's worth, carbs and fuel containing ethanol don't get along. I would empty the tank, run the engine until it stops then drain the remains from the carbs.
@@SpokedInTheEyeMoto I'm probably not the best info source - I don't winterise, as in UK and do ride in the winter (bike is fuel injected). Here, 5% and 10% ethanol are available and I try to avoid the 10% wherever possible. I do have a resto carburetted bike which isn't used in the winter and I completely empty the fuel system for winter. I've never used stabiliser but would have thought that needs to go into the carbs as well. 🤞🏼Your countrymen offer some quality advice. As you're new to it, have you seen FortNine's channel? Ryan knows what's what. Good luck!
I appreciate the info on what you do with your bikes in the winter. I'm thinking along your lines of just draining the system including the float bowl and then just filling the tank to the top to prevent moister getting in and then add stabilizer. What I would rather have is a mild winter with days each week I can ride and just not worry about what to do with putting the bike to bed. My car just broke down so I kind of got excited to think I was going to ride my motorcycle to work tomorrow, until I saw the weather warnings. Rain Storm with Hight Winds. Just my luck.

Thanks, I'll check out sea foam for sure.

@ Thanks for the advice. I also made the mistake of buying a Mastercraft Charger for my car. It didn’t last long.

I just left a comment on your awesome son video.

I'm kind of thinking of going that way. What do you do with the tank? Leave it empty, or fill it up and add treatment?

Over thinking, bro..
You are correct. Unfortunately it's what I do.
