Lay up or no ride for 1 week++

[adesmond2]

Hi all pros out there.. I've been riding for years but nv left my bike alone for more den 3 days... Max is 3 days den ride for 5 min and left it for another 3 days.. But this time, I'm going overseas for 5 days 4 nights ~ 7 days 6 nights.. I can't get anyone to look after my bike as I dun really "trust" anyone... The days is unsure as I might extend...

 

Thus can i know what should I do before leaving my bike alone in the carpark for the next 1 week++, i heard that, take out battery wiring.. should be sufficient? I heard need to dry your carb also.. "if possible?" anything else I need to take note before leaving my bike for 1 week totally un-touch?

 

petrol should be max*so that wun rust? or min*so that wun spoilt? what else need to take note? and my last incident was, I left my bike for 3 days den my kick start broken immediately after I tried to start after 6 days ride once...

 

So I need more advise if possible to prevent any losses... thanks in advance for all advises... Btw, I'm riding Kawasaki KR150.. 2 stroke bike.. thanks...

 

**mods** if i place at wrong place... Kindly assist me to shift to correct place... thanks...

1.kr150 dun need battery to start the bike as is a kick start machine(battery will discharge itself in 4-5 days just recharge teh battery at any bike shop when you are back)

 

2.kick start broke?you use bull strength to start the bike?

 

3.park your bike near the enter/exit of carpark with bright lighting.cover it with canvas and lock it up

 

4.full tank of petrol.lazy to drain the carb you can start the bike with pet c o c k off until the bike die off by it self)

 

5.you wanna try storehub?comfirm safe.

[scubasimon]

1-2 weeks is not a problem. don't really need to do anything special to the bike. if you want can follow what tonychan already mentioned.

 

as for safety...i can't really say. best is find someone with a private carpark and borrow space there if cannot, then just cover up best way you can...and lock it up.

1) ok thanks for the advise.. but i try not to charge up the battery as I do not have a charger and i dun really "intend" to push my bike to bike shop from my hse..

 

2) I didn't use bull strength, what i guess should be the rain causing rust and etc...

 

3) ok.. willl take your advise to lock it up with cavas...

 

4) dun get wat you mean.. so just filled up with petrol hor?

 

5) How much will the storehub cost?

Your Bike Different Ahh. You Racerboy What!

[ulysses_sc]

Don't worry... some of my bikes get started only when inspection is due (once a year)...

 

5 days will not do any harm. Just cover with canvas.

 

If you really particular, empty the float bowl before parking. Either use the carb drain screw, or close the petcock then let the bike idle till it dies off.

[adesmond2]

okok... thanks bro.. anyway, how to empty the float bowl? I heard that one empty before leaving your bike also better...

1.kawa kr still can start and ride without battery.only the headlight is dim and signal light will not light up.you need to rev a bit to make the lighting light up.

 

2.get the original kick starter

 

3.can see that you are parking in a open carpark.use big trash bag,cut into half to make it bigger put between your bike and canvas

 

4.fill your petrol tank full

pet c o c k at off postition

start your bike

the bike will die off once got no more fuel in the fuel pipe and crab

 

5.pls check with them,not so sure if they will allow you to store a bike

[bernardk]

Bro just pump full your petrol and park in Chris rated house or any Condo of your fren. you are only gone for a week. Can ask your parents or frens to just take a look. No need to do anything special la.

 

If really need to just disconnect the battery if you feel scared lor. other than that make sure your season parking is valid. Hahaha... And yes park at brigter area where heavier fall of human traffic.

[adesmond2]

okok thanks..

aga aga know wat to do liaoz..

[Ah-Day]

hahhas.. best solution is cover wif canvas.. lock ur wheel/rims can le.. dun leave ur bike "open" as deres rain plus will dirty easier..

 

no nid drain out fuel etc or tak out batt ba? lols.. after ur trip back, i tink jus warm up and go out open valve lo.. hehe..

[h4hahak1m]

Disconnect battery, shut off fuel ****, pump tank full, cover the bike. That's all you need. O yea season parking
