The bikes were in another room, if you kept the door shut you were alright (although my landlady would say otherwise).
The XS didn't smell all that much, but the funnybike left a distinct odor of oil and alcohol.
The ex scrubbed the hell out of the floor with the rug doctor, but the smell came from the bikes not the carpet.
nowadays, I'd have the glade plug-ins and like Garret said Fabreeze would be a big plus. :biglaugh:

Nahh, If I had it to do all over again, I would just clean the hell of of the bike and drain the gas tank before bringing it inside.
but having a few deoderizers in the outlets near the bike couldn't hurt.

Welcome! I'm a new member and VMax owner as well and have had mine a little over a week now. I'm still getting aquainted and have a lot of respect for the power and capabilities of this machine. Congrats on your Max and the pic in your living room is classic!:biglaugh: For the long haul you might think about sectioning off a small room in your garage with some insulation and a heater for it.

Don't spray air freshener on anything shiny, or really any hard surface. Seen some that leave sticky, gunky "spots" on stuff that can be a PITA to clean off.
Don't worry about it being in an un-heated garage, as long as it's under cover and protected from the elements you'll have no problemo. I actually don't dust-cover my bikes anymore in the garage in the off-season. I did with my Magna over the winter, and in the spring tiny specks of rust had broken out on the handlebars and chainguard that weren't there before. When I pulled it off I could faintly see a light fog of condensation on the bike...the cover ended up trapping moisture under it. Granted, it was a cheap walmart cover and more expensive ones probably "breathe" for this reason.

i actually agree with this. my max sits in a carport 9 months a year, the other 3 its in a garage that i think the dust is easier to clean off than the rust is!
