If the roads are dry and clean and the sun is out it's time for a ride. I block off the
oil cooler with plexi and the bottom third of the radiator with foam rubber and we're off. Running 5W-30 doesn't hurt either. I try to circulate the fluids on a regular basis in the winter. Last year the longest the snake went without starting was 5 weeks.
At the end of every ride the gas tank gets topped-off.
