Hello friends,

well, heres my question to you. Can i park a 2-stroke bicycle in a closed workarea??

im thinking that 2-strokes smell when burning, but do they smell when cool??

Cheers,

They may have a slightly nice aroma when still hot, but not much if any when cool. Folks either hate or LOVE the smell of castor so I'll leave that out. Just use a more pleasant smelling oil. (you can even get fuel scents from hot rod places and catalogs)

However, I think a larger issue will be the gasoline. Unlikely the codes and insurance will allow that.....

insurance companies hate that word

if there are other THINGS around with gas in them
you should be alright

but -- what is mentioned above by Pablo is the true issue
gas inside building can = fire
insurance companies hate that word

put some saddle bags over that engine ??

bottom line -- ride that thing

AH the smell of a two stroke!! As mentioned you either love it or hate it. I happen to be one that likes the smell But then again some that know me would say I am slightly warped.

parking it shouldn't be a big problem. alot of people keep their chainsaws, weedeaters, leaf blowers, etc... in their garages I just wouldnt park it in my house. all gasoline engines have a slight smell of gas in the close proximity of it.

I for one like the smell of 2 stroke. I have come close to buying a couple of 2 stroke cars & trucks over the years, yes they made 2 stroke cars & trucks & imported into the USA at least through the late 1970's

I pull my bicycle into my office when I ride to work. I might roll an E-powered bike inside, but not a petro burning machine.

You might let your mo-bike cool off a few minutes before parking in a closed area. Vapors are vented from the gas cap in reaction to movement during riding. Other than that, it should be ok.

Make sure your gas tank seals tightly even if vented.

About a block away from your destination turn off your fuel petcock and allow the fuel in the carb to be consumed.

You may want it to cool outside for ten minutes ?

Chain your bike so that it can not fall and spill gas. Away from sparks.
, or open flame. LOL
