Hello- is there any body out there?
Laverda Dave:
Its got three speeds Ted. If you have it on high and with max humidity level of 40% it will use power. I have mine on the lowest settings and whilst its not warm in the garage and the air is still cold it is what I would describe as 'dry cold'. There is no dampness whatsoever and it's the damp air that causes the problems. An example is the bed of my lathe, it kept going rusty unless I covered it in oil but now it stays dry and no more rust. Imagine what damp does to the cylinder bores of your bike with open valves :-\

Hi, been in my workshop (all be it very briefly) still working on the Honda. I'm now needing to get my carbs back from my friend who has washed them in the sonic bath.
Next jobs are
Fit tyres and get them checked by local dealer (spokes and balancing)
Front brake installation (need parts)
Idiot lights and clock refurbish (finish this job off)
New seat and parts
Vapour blast engine case
Start building bottom end
Walk the Jack Russell!

I currently use those crystals-in-a-box “dehumidifiersâ€. They must work given how quickly they get converted into liquid slush.

You can cover the bike with an old duvet and then tumble dry it once a week, it's pretty effective at taking moisture away from the bike.
royhall:
Dave. It's described as a desiccant dehumidifier does that mean you have to change the desiccant at regular intervals or does it take care of itself. Also, how often do you have to empty it.
Rozabikes Tim:
The other benifit we seem to get with dehumidifier in our retail (not work!) shop is it warms up quicker. Theory is i spose you are not heating damp air so less energy needed? Works for us and money well spent.
