Coming out of hibernation
Its time to take the vert out of storage, after 3 1/2 months. In the past I just started it up, burned the old gas out ASAP. I put in Sea Foam injector cleaner on the next fill up. Does anyone do anything special to theirs after winter hibernation?

Mine begins hibernation with Techron and Sea Foam stabilizer. After a few tanks used after awakening in the spring then ad BG44K Fuel System Cleaner. Along with Shell V-Twin Power gas runs great with no gas gauge issues.

Nothing special - just check tire pressures and go have a blast driving the car.

I always put Sta-Bil in the tank before I put it away. Our weather here in North Dakota just will not cooperate this spring. They are talking about more snow on Friday again,that means more salt again.

looks like it’s finally going to warm up here in MI this week. This weekend the car will be out of hibernation and on the road. 😎

That would be what I would do but I have been fortunate in that here in Kansas my car rarely sits longer than two weeks at a time. What shuts me down is if the streets and roads get salted in advance of a forecasted rain/snow event that doesn't happen. Then all that salt is still on and I won't drive it on that junk.

Need to change the oil. Fuel will be fine. I either did Sta-Bil or Sea Foam, don't remember but I got both on the shelf. Check tires. LF leaks around the valve stem, I know it will be low. It was last driven in late November or early December.
