G54 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 As the topic says, how often should I start the Fino motorbike? It is stood idle most of the time and I am unsure if it needs to be started up or even taken for a run on a regular basis. Will it affect the engine lubrication and cause any wear and tear if I do not start it? Will it be OK just to start it and not take it for a run? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fino motorbike? .. hi there, i have started every week, asked my gf to do so if not in thailand, maybe so.. cheers Took mine back off the g/f OK, seems like I have to get out on those deadly roads on 2 wheels once a week. 4 wheels the rest of the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceBlondie Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 My bf starts any set of wheels not used during the week, and lets them idle. I know in the old days of generators this would drain rather than charge the battery. Not so sure about alternators. but I doubt an idle speed charges the battery. Otherwise, for fluids, even flat spots on tires that sit too long, it is good to take them for a good run.i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
