Second skin tank cover owners

[Pat C]

Happy Thankgiving everyone, I'm about to store bike for the winter and I was wondering if I have to remove the second skin tank cover?

If it is stored inside I wouldn't see any reason to remove it. There shouldn't be any dampness or moisture to contend with.

i'd remove it so the paint can breath. sounds nuts, but true if it is a new bike. always dampness in garage. becareful

Unless it is stored in a room that is heated 24hrs, parts of the bike tend to "sweat" with changers in temperature. Mold also can be a problem for leather (etc.). I wouldn't venture an opinion on whether or not the cover could pose a problem, but I do know many maufacturers recommend bike covers that breathe.
