I did pretty much what Wayne did. Draining the carbs was the key. The bike was up on stands all winter in a heated garage. Battery was hooked up to a battery tender. Before starting her this Spring, I drained the tank using a transfer pump (a manual one) and transferred the fuel into my cage. I then went to the gas station and filled a four gal. can with fresh fuel. The bike fired up fine. Rode around town for a while to warm things up and changed the oil and filter---also cleaned and lubed the chain. Installed a ZG Sport Touring Windscreen. Love it. It is a whole different bike. Getting beat up by the wind is a thing of the past. Am very impressed with ZG quality and design.
