Winter Lay Up
Posted: Sun Oct 01, 2006 4:39 pm
I've decided to lay the bike up in the garage over winter. Yep, it comes round pretty quickly this far north so maybe in a couple of weeks that'll be it for this year until next April. The bike is fitted with an Odessey gel battery. Is it ok to leave this on the bike over the cold months or should it be disconnected and taken inside ? Leaving a normal battery in the bike over winter would kill it for sure but I'm not sure if the Odessey would be ok.
Also I'm trying to locate a company who sells a cover system for bikes layed up. I think there is a company called vac pack or something that sell large plastic bags with absorbent gel bags that absorbs any moisture that may be in the bag. I can't find them on the internet so does anybody know the correct web address ?
Christ, it's depressing thinking about winter already. The problem this far north is that if you don't take some preventive measures over winter any bike justs sits in the garage coated with permanent moisture for 5-6 months. Ask my Honda 400/4 as it's had 30 odd years of it !
