I've been reading a bit online about winterization as I get ready to do it next weekend... I have a question!!
A few people recommend changing the oil in the winter to get rid of the dirty oil with contaminants. THEN! They say before you fire it up, do another oil change in the spring to get rid of any moisture that could have accumilated in the oil during the winter. What do you think about this? Is this a legit concern? Cause if that's the case, I'm not putting full synthetic oil in my bike only to drain it out unused in a few months
Let me know if you think that's necessary!!
Thanks!
If you're rich, go for it! Myself, I don't see it collecting that much moisture with a cover over it, or parked inside a semi-heated garage. My thoughts are that your bike collects more moisture inside the engine being ridden and parked in the pissing rain during the riding season.
I also don't believe in storing the bike with shitty oil, as some will always be left to mix with the new good stuff.
