I have always changed oil before storing my bike for the long winter. However this year I did the 10K service a month ago and have since put about 400 miles on. In your opinions would you drop the oil and and put in FRESH, or am I good with 400 miles??? ALso what is a good battery tender???? I will hang up and listen. THANKS
 
Of course Glider is right on, and good to see someone was in the same dilemma as myslef. I debated, but planned on leaving it along this time. Just have one quick run to the gas station left and she will be officially put away for the winter, since 28 degrees here in the AM is a bit too cold for a 1 hour ride :(

Junior tender works great
