My scooters are now in hibernation. Gave them both a run out this morning, arrived back and switched off petrol to empty the carb. Blocked up on pieces of wood so that tyres dont get flat spots, topped up fuel tanks. smeared chrome in 3 in 1 oil. Will do the SORN application later. Have i missed anything?

Put a big padlock round them. I had a ride today, look forward to summer. Turn the engines over every week and put some oil down the plug holes to give the bores a coat of protection. Pull the clutch in and free it off every so often ? just trying to help.

Yes, additional padlock was put on as well. Also dropped the oil last week. I will also trickle charge the one fitted with a battery. Good tip about
squeezing the levers.

For the first time in 12 years, mine is having a rest.... also my cbt ran out before I got my license (didn't even realise) spot of luck for a change. Currently my iron sloth sits next to the IZH outside in the elements, I hope to pick up a small shed soon so I can get them both back on the road asap. 😅

Charge the battery and take it off, put it in the airing cupboard. They hate the cold !

fuel preservative in tanks , or fuel will be stale by spring . H As H sez a splash of this stuff in a full tank then let it idle for a while to “circulate “ stops fuel going off .  Cheers . |

Dont think i will bother with the expense of the fuel preservative. Come spring, I will use the stale petrol in my lambretta, and get some fresh gas for my vespa!  |
