I have been reading the various postings online with scans of the owners manual and I'm curious as to what others believe here with regards to the recommendations from the owners manual for winter storage.
Given that I'm here in the great chilly midwest, whenever the slingshot decides to grace me with its presence I will only have limited weather to ride it and will be looking at prepping it for some periods of time in storage. But will on the nice days, with clean roads, etc get it out to play when I can.
Normally I follow the below steps (Used for the CBR, ATV, Shelby, etc.)
But in the owners manual they go as far as to recommend fogging the engine. That seems horribly old school. SOmething I remember us doing a kids to our Jet Ski's when putting them away for the winter. ANyone have thoughts?

- Top off the fuel tank
- Put in fuel stabilizer (Being sure to run the engine long enough to smell it on the exhaust
- Ensure tire pressures are set properly
- Hookup a battery tender
- Every 2-3 weeks move it around a bit in the garage so it isn't sitting on the same spot
