I ride an 07' ninja 500r that I keep in my living room when I'm not out riding (which of course is never below 75 degrees). This is pretty much my first bike considering my 89' ninja 600 didn't last but a few weeks(story in previous posts). I've read the many posts on winterization and was planning on following most of the steps. I moved to Denver about 6 months ago from louisiana and I'm not used to the unpredictable weather, well a few days after thanksgiving it snowed without notice. I turned the fuel valve off and ran the bike until it was about to die, to try and get as much fuel out of the carbs as possible, then I parked the bike in my living room like I always do. It's been about a month and I haven't been able to take it out yet, and I'm concerned that I might be causing damage. It has about 535 miles on it and I was about to change the oil (600 mile change as in manual) when It randomly snowed.
My question is, am I possibly causing damage to the carbs or anything else by not changing the break in oil, and/or not draining the gas tank? If not is there anything I can do to prevent damage?
Any suggestions or advice is always welcomed.:smile:
