Hey,
This question is for my Dad. Ok, he has a '97 Honda Shadow VT1100C with a wet clutch. Now he knows before you put it away your supposed to change the oil and filter.
Currently he's running M1 15w50 and a supertech filter. It's been in there for roughly 5000 miles. For storing the bike he will be using either M1 10w40 Vtwin or Amsoil 10w40 Vtwin. He wants to avoid changing the filter before storage. He wants to just drain it, then refill with new oil before storage.
Now after storage for next season. He wants to try and keep the oil that was in there for storage. Is it necessary to drain and refill with fresh oil when he starts riding next season or can he use the storage oil?? Obviously he will change the filter after storage season is over. Thanks,,,,,,,AR
