Hi guys
Due to my work situation, I have to mothball my bikes for long periods.
The first stint was for 18 months.
Some of you may find what I did useful. and dry chain lube

• Cleaned the bike throughout including the chain
  Applied a mix of AFC-50, WD-40, silicon spray lube
  Filled up the petrol tank & added fuel stabilser
  Put the bikes inside the house
  Disconnected the battery
  Over inflated the tires by 10 PSI
  And that was it

When I returned and put the bikes on the road for 3 weeks, I reconnected the battery & started them up & off I went without a single hiccup. Although the tires had dropped to 25 over the period so I had to pump them up.

They have now gone back into hibernation & I did the same things so hopefully he results will be the same in 12~18 months time!
