winter riding, no winterization?

Kyguylal · 01-23-2015, 12:58 PM

I live in Massachusetts. I was thinking about not winterizing the bike. Its a nicer day out today, so I went for a ride. Its 34, so its not horrible out.

If I were to run the bike a few miles every couple of weeks, would I be fine with just keeping a full tank with some sta-bil in it and keep the battery on a tender?

Would I cause any harm to the bike keeping it out in the cold for a week or two beteeen runs?

I figure that there's only a month and a half till spring riding season anyways
