This Canadian discussion thread has been very quiet so I thought I'd start a survey to find how many Canadian bikers are lurking here and where you are located and what do you drive. Here is a start!!!
Thanks

Location..........Westbank B.C. Bike.............06 K1200LT
New Glasgow, N. S. My wife and I just came back from 3 weeks of riding around southern B.C. and Vancouver Island on our '05 LT. The Rogers Pass was the highlight for me.
mostly commute to work in Scarborough during the week - anywhere else except work when time permits.

Happy to say no major issues so far !!

Hi!
Great to see many of us Canucks who ride Beemers. Unfortunately most of us will be putting our bikes to bed for the winter soon. I was wondering if there is anything different with regards to winterizing this bike.
I usually do the following:
Clean the bike.
Fill the tank with premium fuel.
Add fuel stabilizer.
Cover the bike
After a couple of months recharge the battery.
Should I disconnect the battery before recharging it?
Other than that, I just look at it occasionally and ponder,when when will spring be here!
Take care.

Usually I will change the engine oil, transmission oil and final drive and air filter. This year I will be also be changing the brake and clutch fluids. This way when spring arrives I am ready to go. Normally, I disconnect the battery and give it a good charge.
Then I get my skis out and wait fro the snow to arrive.
Oh yes, I forgot to mention, I just had the dealer complete the 6000mile or 10k service which included the oil, filter, and final drive, and other required fluids.I don't think he did the brake fluids, however I may get that completed next season!!
