Title: LYD'S winter napping spot (PICS)
Post by: LYD on November 18, 2008, 06:40:59 AM
Well I finally put LYD away for its long winter nap.  And yes Mindy finally said okay it can go into the dinning room.  So here it is! I will put the cover on once it cools down, and yes the tender is on.

Nice to see that someone actually posted something Ducati/motorcycling related on our Ducati/motorcycling board. Will wonders never cease? :o

I thought that you hated Ducati now  ;D [popcorn]

Hey Alan-

Just a couple of winter tips.... Make sure & start the bike up every morning. It should run for at least 10 - 15 minutes, revving it up to high RPMs frequently, & the earlier in the morning the better, say 5:30 or 6:00 am.
This guarantees that there is no decrease in exhaust decibels, & that the rattle in your clutch is not diminished [thumbsup]

Funny scott, the only problem is that I am at work and don't get off home until 8-9, but I could do a 1030 pm start up before I go to work.

i've also heard that burnouts prevent battery sulfuration.  Should be easy with the carpet, and all....

Too bad you had to pickle her before the CRGs got there. Did you put them on yet?
