Been there done that. Yeah I forgot to put the fuel on prime after a long sleep. Something to remember come spring.

Living in Minnesota, I'm getting close to having to shut down for the winter.I feel I can follow all the steps in the manual, except I'm unsure about the oily rags in the air intake. Where exactly is that? Any other advice would be appreciated for ending my first motorcycle season. It has been fun and I've enjoyed this site a lot. Thanks!

Ive never really had to put a bike away for the winter. We dont get any snow here just lots of wind and rain and i ride through it. But if you gotta put it away for the winter do it right. The last thing you wanted is months of neglect so that come summer it needs to be put right. If your friends think your being anal let them neglect their bikes and when theyre having problems getting their bikes started in the summer they can join the forum and take advice from you :)

Remove the left side panel (the one with the saddle lock) You'll see the air filter (held on with 3 screws) The air intake is that thingy sticking out from the air filter.
