Derek you've comitted a sin. You've shown us a clean beautiful BMW when it's rainy & gloomy & cold outside. If that's an old pic taken in fair weather then ok but don't torture a poor man.![]()

Hi Folks
Everyone talks about how good Stabil is for winter layup and I have used it on many engines. My dealer says do not use it unless you want seal damage. Since most seem to use it, there should be a serious rush for seal replacement job, which I haven't heard about.
Any ideas.
SE WI is going to be 40 f today and I would be out if there wasn't a quarter mi of ice between the bike and the town road.
Merry Christmas

He probably doesn't like Stabil because of all the lost revenue to him from people who use it. If everyone used it there would be no spring time rush of people bringing in gummed up fuel systems.Originally Posted by OrchardRT

Maybe he's talking about clubbing baby seals (you would need the really big bottle of Stabil to do this right).Originally Posted by GregFeeler
But since most Beemer riders are too old to go clubbing, that's probably not it.
Naa, that can't be it. I think he is referring to what happens to "SEALS" (the SOF type) when they do land based "Stability" operations. They get gummed up and break down...Originally Posted by Crow18

Clubbing? Isn't that similar to bar-hopping?![]()
