Proper winter storage

[mikeylikesit]

but thank God I don't live in Buffalo!!

Although its not as cold here as cycle guy 55, (he has it just about as bad as it gets where he is), except it is a little drier there then where I am.
I am storing my SPF in unheated garage with concrete floor, and here is my routine:
I am flushing and changing out my coolant because its not up to enough freeze protection....and it needs doing anyways.
Changing oil and filter
Filling tank and adding stabilizer.
6 mil vapor barrier on garage floor.
Remove battery and charge and bring indoors
Tires up to max pressure
I purchased a car bag after talking to many folks who use them in my neck of the woods. As long as you have enough and good quality dessicant, their will be zero moisture accumulation in the bag, and car, (as Mr Mustang says, will come out looking as you put it away). BTW you need a soft car cover to be placed before you close her up in the bag...
Spread the dessicant throught the interior, trunk etc.
Stuff cloth rag in headers and then wrap ends with plastic and rubber band.
Leave doors, trunk lid and engine hood slightly open so as not to have seals compressed while she sits all winter.
Do not start the engine or open the bag all winter....if you have to open her up, you will need to add additional dessicant.
I am changing my tires next spring so I am not concerned about flatspotting,
however next winter I will purchase some of the storage discs for tires that support them all the way around instead of then sitting.
I am feeling very comfortable that she will winter just fine.
