Hi all,
Actually hootie, if you think about it, say you have two pots on the stove, one full of water, and one empty. If you turn on the two heating elements, which pot heats up first? When you turn off the elements, which pot cools first?
IMHO, you are better off to change the oil, get all of the undesirables out of the oil pan, and fill it with new oil to help make temp. changes gradual and maybe keep the machine in ridable condition. At least with new oil in, you could fire it every week or so for a good warm up and keep the fuel fresh and save yourself storage set up and spring set up(maybe even ride on a nice day).
If I drained the oil for storage, I would probably forget there was no oil in the engine. The first day out for me would be very unpleasant.
Good luck,
Zip
