I'm gonna put my 03 Lemans away for the winter. Some questions.

[bikelee]

  I'm gonna put my 03 Lemans away for the winter. I was looking at the owners manual and one of the recommended things to do is put some 30w oil in the cylinders. Should I do this or is it overkill ? I already changed the oil in the engine, trans and rear end. I'm gonna drain the fuel in the gas tank (also per the manual), put some corrosion protection on the exposed metal parts, and some fresh dryer sheets under the seat, gas tank and fairing to keep mice away. (When I first got the bike, I found a mouse nest in the air cleaner box !). I put some metal screens over the intake snorkels as added protection.   Anything else I should do ? Thanks for any advice !!

You should (if it is available) buy straight gasoline and install Sta-Bil fuel stabilizer . Leave the oil out of the cylinders. If there are no pets around , I would put sticky traps around to catch the mice with .

battery charger?

Yes, put a trickle charger on the battery. I have had one for years and wouldn't be without it.

Battery Tender is the only way to go !
