    Where you you park your bike?

    I have my motorcycles parked in Amish sheds. I have a electronic pest control emitter installed in each one of my sheds. Like these for an example:

    https://www.amazon.com/ultrasonic-pe...+pest+repeller

    For long term storage (meaning a couple of weeks periodically during the winter) I stick rags in the exhaust pipes. I also bait traps with peanut butter and put them next two each wheel of the bike(s).

    I do use Bounce dryer sheets sometimes, stuffed around the battery compartment of my DR650. I also screened my DR650's airbox opening with metal mesh. I haven't used bounce on my F6B though.

    The next time I change out my F6B's air filter, I'm going to used steel mesh of the two air intakes that feed it. You don't want mice building a nest on top of that air filter. it's a bitch to get to (for us) in the first place...

    Crap, I usually put rags in my pipes too and forgot when storing it this season. I've had the same issue as the OP before.
