would you buy a bike that has been left outside???

Very true

check the oil see if its milky~~~

Some people dont know that... but if u start the bike for a lil and dont let it get up to running temp and then turn it off... the motor will build condensation inside...

5 months in summer? What exactly do you think is going to happen to it... How many bikes world wide live outside, cars, trucks. etc. It's fine especially in summer. You guy's are acting like it spent the last 10 years leaned up against a tree, out in the woods or something..

i had my bike up at my camp 4th of July two summers ago.

I rode up on the 3rd. Went to ride home on the 5th to get my truck and when i took the rear seat off, a mother and three smaller mice made a home in my "trunk"

It sat for 2.5 days in the garage at camp... now this isn't a sealed tight garage and the door is left open...but still

Not trying to jack the thread but, my bike sits on the porch with a cover on it, would that be okay to leave through the winter? I do ride it around the block every now and then as long as its not wet or snowing or anything like that.
