quick question

[made2care]

My 1100 is out in the shed, with no heat for the winter. I drained the radiator and water pump. will the bike be okay?

Be sure the tires are inflated and the battery is removed. Did you drain the carbs? Also, top off the gas tank to prevent water developing from condensation.

Put Stabil in gas tank and ran that in carb (single carb). Yes, gas tank is topped off. battery removed.
thanks

You should leave the rad full or the parts will dry then you might have leaks. I never drain my rads and never had a problem. It gets a lot colder up here then it does in your area.

I tried that and the crossover pipe busted

Just make sure your antifreeze is good 50/50 mix or good for minus 30 or 40 F

I doubt you can fully drain the system. Filling with proper coolant is the best way.
