Its been off the road since mid November. I've replaced the brake fluid, changed the engine oil, cleaned and regreased the steering head bearings, replaced the cam belts and pulled out the swingarm to clean and regrease the swingarm linkage bearings. What to you lot do with your machines during the dark winter months?
Note: I do this maintenance every year (except belt replacement) and from first ride (mid March) to the last one (mid November) I have done about 1600 miles.

I have rebuild one 907IE quite totally (engine didint need to open, only adjusted front sylinder exhaust valve clearances and washed engine oil system from dirt), but near all other parts are checked, fixed, od changed to new. Also some electrical mods done, M1R totally rebuild with new seals & oils. New belts, new chain, new sprockets,new spark plugs, polished headers, painted rear part of frame, painted valve adjusting covers(Ducati red surely), new filters, fuel filter changed to outside, new fuel pump, new better looking rear mudguard, dashboard totally rebuild with all new bulbs, all palces lubricated, "loctited", cleaned, electrics cleaned, fixed, regulator wires welded, heat protection put to rear schock, swingarm rebuild with new seals/bearings ok, but washed and regreased, ... still some things to do... ...like change all liquids, expect oils, what have changed already.....

Antti,
you don't service your bikes, you rebuild them .
Ciao

Whats more being Jan 1st today its a good 2 1/2 to 3 months before I ride again. Last year during March the weather was improving and I was climbing the walls waiting for a good weather slot.

I rode 200 miles on 1/1/2009. 8th year in a row that I rolled a bike out and put significant miles on, on New Years. It was 15 degrees F (-9C) when I left the garage and 20F (-6C) on return. It was a brisk and fun day on the road. Don't put them away for the winter. Ride on nice days and enjoy!!

But, Jon, which bike did you ride? The 'Wing?!

No, the Multi. The wing isn't registered yet and still runs a bit crappy due to the carbs being gunked up.

I had to plow 8" of snow out of the driveway before I could push the bike out of the barn!

I thought of keeping the Monster on the road for the winter, having invested in heated gear, but decided against riding the salted roads. When the temp rises close to 40F, then I can tinker in the unheated garage at least.

(As to the GW, check out lots of good service info at http://www.nakedgoldwings.com/ including step-by-step on getting long-sitting bikes running.)

got coils, got wires, got a battery,fixed a clock,got a clean swing arm all I need is the time............................and weather that is not sub freezing

ha ha ha , got one wire it is 120 cm long looks like when all is said and done they will be somewhere around 30cm after the coils get mounted. Stock is around 45cm
Waiting for my garage heater to show up as it has been below freezing here for weeks.
