I have a 2007 1250S. It is still too muddy to get the bike out but the weather is real nice here in N.E. Ohio and I wish I could but anyways I have not started the Bandit since the end of Summer and it has been in my basement which I keep at 50* F. I turned the key hit the starter button and it started right up. I let it idle until it quit blowing smoke and revved it a few times to remember what it sounds like. Have fun and ride safe.
