I grew up in a suburb of Buffalo NY and Snow is a fact of life there. Salt will destroy a prescious Wing and snow sucks to ride in. I have done it many times with dirt Bikes and street bikes and it sucks! I can only imagine it would be especially horrible with the weight of a Wing. Not for me, but down here in VA I ride at least weeekly Winter long and about the only thing I will do is add some Stabil to each tank just in case it turns nasty and I can't get the bikes out for their exercise.

Coolant change?

What's the consensus out there on coolant change over winter? It certainly is cheap. Any advantage? You would at least inspect all fluids for anything unusual before storage. Don't want crud of any kind to set up in her for long.
