Last ride of the season.

Today was the last ride of the season for me and the Honda. Filled the tank with Ethanol free gas and a dollop of Seafoam for winter storage. Parked the bike after a short ride to give the Seafoam time to circulate in the tank and through the FI system.

Had a slight bit of drama. I discovered the rear tire had very little pressure. Time to pull out the compressor and top it up before riding on. That done I realized that I had a very low tire during my last midnight coffee ride through the twisties.

Tomorrow or the next day I will check the pressure again. If it is a slow leak it might be a bad valve core which is an easy fix. If not I have plenty of time to pull the rear wheel and have it repaired properly. Also time to pull out the battery tender plug from under the seat. A half hour charge once a month seems to keep the battery quite happy in this milder winter climate.
