I've got an old '78 CB400A in pretty nice condition, but I just don't have the room anymore to store it in my garage. That said, I have a covered patio which will keep it out of the elements come winter time, with the exception being cold air. Now I do live in an area that sees consistent freezing temps from about mid-November until March, not to mention lots of snow (100+ inches last winter). Besides keeping the battery on a trickle charger in the garage and keeping the bike covered, is there anything else I should look out for? Also, my bike is very cold-blooded when it comes to starts, even in the heat of August; should I worry about firing her up once a month throughout the winter? Or should I just let it go and do routine maintenance come spring (oil/filter)?
Thanks for any suggestions!
