My buddies ZX6 was being stored at one of our local dealers over the winter, since he didnt have a garage. He said the price was reasonable, but didnt say how much though.. anywho..
When he picked up the bike, he said the shop technician told him to "quote be careful for the first 100 miles", he said OK, and left. 1 day later, he promptly took a corner while out riding and low sided. Causing damage to the clutch lever, handlebar, tank, plastic, shifter, peg, and both turn signals. He wasnt wearing any gear but his lid, so he's got all kinds of road rash too...but that's par for the course w/ him, he wouldnt wear if u paid him.
So he calls up the dealer to set up a time for an estimate, etc. They then told him, he says, that they sprayed the front and rear tires w/ a water proof sealant, to help keep the tires from cracking or dry rotting at all, over the winter months that it was stored. ? The bike was stored inside, in their separate garage. Not climate controlled though from what he said.
Is this common place to do for storage facilities? He says they never told him they were doing that, and consequently he wrecked.
Just curious if anybody else ever did this or heard of it b/4.
