I havn't rode in 3 weeks and I was just wondering if there is anything I should be doing when qaud is not used for 3 or 4 weeks. The manual gives info for long term storage but i don't plan on not using it for long periods of time mabye just a few weeks at a time. I hope to ride this weekend is there anything I should do before firing it up after 3 weeks of not using and is there anything I should do before letting it sit and collect dust for a few weeks. I try to start it up and let it run for a bit and warm up every other week or so when not riding I dont know if that is a good or bad idea.

 

The only thing I do for 'short term" parking is to make sure that the parking brake is off. While this may not be a problem with the Eiger, my old King Quad was very bad about locking up it's brakes if not ridden for a couple of weeks so it's a force of habit.

My eiger sit for about a month at a time. I've never had any problems starting it.

My neither. If it sits longer (shame on me for not riding sooner), then I just take it easy for the first couple of miles. Not like it says to or I have to, just personal preference. Oh, and I have never had any problems starting it after sitting.

 

Mine always starts with no probs, but I let it sit for 3 months (Dont ride much when its really hot) then when I went to start it I noticed it was a little coldblooded like my wifes Honda recon, but it was fine after that.
