bTW I know guys that believe you should change your oil before Winter AND after! The oil companies just laugh their way to the bank!

Yall and storing bikes. Silly willys.
Just buy some cheap ass walmart oil, run for a couple minutes, then drain. No reason to waste money expensive oil just to use for minutes. |

Ideally, you should change your oil before storage and not start it again until you're ready to ride. Emulsion occurs because you run your engine without bringing it up to a hot enough temperature to evaporate any moisture that collects due to temperature changes. A very small amount of fuel would get by from regular use. Carbon blows by your rings. When that mixes with the moisture from condensation it becomes acidic. This applies to all engines. However, it really probably wouldn't effect your bike very much. That doesn't change the fact that it doesn't happen. |
I change my oil shortly after winter is over. It might not be the very first ride of the season but I won't wait too long. It doesn't matter if it had a few miles or a few thousand miles on it, I'll change it.

I don't change mine before storage either.
Run it up to temp in the spring, drain, change filter, add new. Good to go for whatever interval you feel like running. Buell takes 20W-50. It has the HD Screaming Eagle in it now, will have Amsoil in it when I change it. It's worked for the first 11k :idk: |
