[QUOTE="chipset, post: 39760, member: 1175"] I would not suggest leaving the bike through the winter without oil. Oil is not only a lubricant, but also a protectant. The reason oil is put in the cyclinder for fogging has everything to do with protecting. You don't want rust forming, and the oil helps prevent that on cylinder heads and moving parts. Personally, I change the oil at the end of the season (like in my boat), but I will run the same oil for the beginnning of the season. No ill effects. The reason for the oil change at the end of the season is to get bad oil out, which can contain moisture, which is bad for the metals. [/QUOTE]
