| Re: drain fluids? I'd fog the carbs, pour Crisco in the cylinders, swaddle it in bubble-wrap, and lock it in a vault with a laser guided anti-theft system.
Just kidding.....for a mere month, your bike should be fine. It can't be all too cold in Texas. If ya want peace of mind, pour a little Sta-bil in the tank, and run it for five minutes before you store it...... |
