... some here are  saying put fresh oil in before storage but what difference does that make if it's all just in the sump anyway :think
Because reduction in viscosity is only one of the reasons we change the oil. Another is that the carefully balanced additive package in fresh oil gets used up... in particular, those that neutralise corrosive acidic compounds caused by combustion products getting past the piston rings. If those are used up (and that will happen quicker if you add Activ8), then you'll be overwintering your engine's vitals in an acid bath. :lol

oh well  :\ , it's all one big slippery, oily, activa8y, acidy, fazery slope & i've forgot my sledge.one idea one could use is to use some activ8 secretely whilst wearing a balaclava & if the bike blows up say nowt...if it gets mega mileage proclaim that activ8 is responsible, activ8 or not though i cant wait to see if the bike runs without any glitches, fingers crossed.
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
