De-winterizing questions
First of all, screw all you guys with 12 month access to your bikes. I was jealous, but no more as a $95/month 24 hr. garage is two blocks away from my new apt. Next, I have taken Howie's advice on how to winterize my bike. This included filling the tires to maximum psi, filling all holes with steel wool, topping off the gas tank with stabil-treated gas and putting the battery on a battery tender. So now that it's riding time again I'm gonna:
-Remove the battery tender and steel wool
-Return the tires to around 32 psi
-Drive carefully until the tankful of Stabil is out, lest there be some sputtering
The oil was brand spankin' new when she went away for the winter and I hope the oil is still good. So here are my questions:
1. How do I determine if the oil degraded over the winter?
2. Is there ANYTHING I've forgotten?
