I note while perusing the Files section that there is no FAQ! FAQs were invented to solve this problem on forums and elsewhere. Perhaps we can make a FAQ right...
A worthwhile endeavor -- I just wish Yahoo Groups had a more suitable method for building a FAQ, rather than putting a file in the bin. If we all had Gmail...
I usually keep my 99 Helix in a rented unheated storage facility here in Illinois during the winter months. In an effort to curb expenses on the rent I thought...
Indoor storage is preferable to outdoor with a cover. Condensation is the primary problem with outdoor storage. Electrical connections, hydraulics, fuel...

Mr. Limpwell is right, a plain cover will allow a lot of moisture to condense on the internals. Maybe lots of blankets underneath a watertight cover? Maybe...
I use outside with cover only because I have no option for indoor. I DO bring my battery inside and keep it on a trickle charger during the winters In a...
Top off gas tank. Don't use STP fuel stabilizer. It will turn the tygon lines to mush. Clamp fuel line and run engine until carb is dry. Fog the engine (pull...
Excellent suggestions. If storing outside, I suggest applying a wax, or silicone, on any chrome or aluminum surfaces (including shiny bolts and nuts) that are...
I leave my 2004 Helix in our unheated garage over the winter and make it a point to start and run it, in idle for twenty minutes or so every ten days or so,...
The tiniest amount of heat, even fifty watts, will keep the condensation away. Use a small heating pad with a thermostat controller, on the seat, and then a...

Not too mention that most of the surfaces (ie, bodywork) are plastic and will transition in temperature much more quickly than metal. But whatever you do, do...
Of course he is trying to reduce expenses. $400 would probably cover the winter storage. But at least with this solution it would be a one-shot cost. -Mike O...
Kymco Downtown 300i and Kymco Like 200i review I had a chance to try out both of these scooters in Greensboro NC yesterday. By the way I ride a Helix most of...
... Of course Honda already has something to compete: the SH300i. Why they would spend all that effort marketing the SH150i without bringing over the SH300i is...
Be careful group members, ANY suggestions can and will be censored by the group moderator Hadley. I guess people can't decide for themselves what is helpful...
I always heard that it's bad for it to idle for that long, and that you're supposed to take it out and drive, putting the motor under load. ~Susan in New...
