That's why they are "back-yard" mechanics. Guy buys a tool kit, fixes his lawnmower, thinks he's a licensed mechanic.
We used to have a sign at a very large dealership i worked at for the "back-yard" mechanics. It read:
"You are paying me $100 per hour to fix your car, talk to me all you want."
Less is more here people. You are taking 16 weekends!
Keep things lubed and moving. It's just that simple.
The "milkshake" effect of oil is seen when you literally add water, or blow a head-gasket.
A bike idling in the garage in the winter will take up to ten minutes to click on the fan relay, twenty mins to get oil up to operating temp.
Any condensation is burnt off then.
Oil is delivered to every square inch of the engine. There are now no "bare and exposed" areas.
Put a piece of plywood between the floor and the bike on stands, as concrete is porous, and anything porous holds moisture.
Although I've been licensed twenty years, truth is, you don't need to be a mechanic. This is basic stuff, and is just common sense.
This is how I "don't" store my bikes...meaning the bike isn't really "stored", it's just immobilized for 16 weekends, has a fresh oil change, a full tank of gas, is off the ground, and the bonus of the psychological effect on withdrawal of hearing it come to life, takes some of the sting off of winter.
Removing plugs, fogging cyls, fuel stabilizers, temp control, humidiy, I would most certainly take into consideration, if I was storing a bike for five years!
This seems to go against what the majority of "back-yard-mechanics" have suggested in these forums. I've read over and over again how this practice will turn your oil into a milky sludge by the end winter because the bike does not remain hot enough for the moisture to evaporate. You mention to leave it running until the rad fans turn on, but even then others have said it does not have enough time to burn out all the moisture.
