Winterizing

BigSwole · 11-01-2009, 02:21 PM

Ok I live in South Ga, and while it gets cold here it'll never be too cold over a week or so, how long can the ski sit without being rode without winterizing? I'd imagine it would be ok for a few weeks?

Just fog it after each use if you wont be using it for a few weeks at a time.
Yamaha actually recomend fogging if it wont be used for a week or more.

really? i didnt know that? what all has to be done after the fogging? like when you want to go and ride again

Nothing....just go ride it!

My FXHO gets fogged at the end of a weekends ride when I don't know when I'll be out again. Never had an issue with a fouled plug........I get over 100hrs out of them too...although I believe using good quality fuel helps stop them fouling.

i started fogging more often after reading volltrex suggested it in a thread a while back. i must admit that i do it about every 2 weeks however.

Is this only true for 4 strokes?

Do you use Yam's fogging oil or what brand...?

I would use yamaha, but it is not available here.
I use starbrite or quicksilver.......both work well.......... quicksilver is thicker & is probably better to use if the ski will be laid up for a long time,
