Doing so helps prevent oxidation and corrosion over time.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Change the oil on your bike<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Even if you won\u2019t be riding in the winter, temperatures can still dip in the early spring. Cold-weather grade oil helps your bike start more easily in low temperatures. Check with your bike\u2019s manufacturer to see what oil they recommend. While you\u2019re changing your oil, also replace your oil filter so you don\u2019t have any oil byproducts sitting around inside your bike.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure to also check the brake fluid and the clutch coolant. Finally, if you live somewhere that experiences cold winters, you should add antifreeze.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve topped off your fluids, take your motorcycle for a quick spin to circulate them <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">before you put your bike into storage<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stabilize the Fuel\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as your bike\u2019s oil can go bad after a while<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, gasoline left to oxidize can also break down over time. Oxidized fuel can morph into gummy debris that settles in the fuel tank and clogs the fuel system and carburetor. If that happens, it\u2019ll be a challenge to start the bike up again come springtime.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyhandyman.com\/article\/what-to-know-about-fuel-stabilizers\/#:~:text=Chemical%20reactions%20within%20stored%20fuel,than%20three%20months%20of%20storage.\">Family Handyman<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, after more than three months in storage, fuel is less likely to properly ignite due to chemical reactions within the fuel and the evaporation of some volatile components. Add a fuel stabilizer to the gas tank to help prevent oxidation, which in turn will keep the fuel fresh and effective months down the road.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disconnect the Battery\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">winter motorcycle storage<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, disconnecting the battery is one of the most critical steps you can take, particularly if you live in a cold area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why? Because a motorcycle battery needs to be used frequently. Left alone for months at a time, it can weaken or become <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">unusable<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. And, in harsher climates, the battery could potentially freeze or crack.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To protect your battery, remove it from the motorcycle and store it separately. Consider storing it in a warm, dry place to prevent cracks or leaks, and then connect it to a trickle charger. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now is also a great opportunity to closely inspect your battery. Look for corrosion around the battery terminals and use a voltmeter to test the battery\u2019s charge. A weak charge may indicate that you\u2019ll soon need a new battery.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you prefer to leave the battery in the motorcycle, it\u2019s advisable to take it out for a spin at least one time per month. Doing so will help extend the battery\u2019s life.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lubricate Your Bike<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before storing your motorcycle, lubricate all the small parts that need it. Your owner\u2019s manual can give you a complete list, but these parts typically include:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Final drive chain<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Levers<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cables<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Side stand pivots<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inspect your components while you lubricate them to make sure everything is in good shape.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clean Your Motorcycle\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you plan on storing your bike away<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> long-term<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? If so, it\u2019s <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">important to<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> rigorously clean your motorcycle before storage. This can help prevent rust on the metal and cracks in the seat leather.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleaning steps:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wash and dry <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">your bike<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wax the bike to repel moisture.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add a leather or vinyl dressing to the seats.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take some time to give your bike a detailed cleaning. You don\u2019t want any road grime to stay on your bike for months while in storage. Check around your seat and side covers for hidden pockets of dirt and grit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While inspecting your bike for dirt, double-check your wires and components. Look for frayed wires or rust on your bike. If you find any issues, take care of them before storing your bike.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve completed this process and put your bike into <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">winter motorcycle storage<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, place a sock or rag <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">inside<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the exhaust pipe to prevent animals or pests from getting in.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fill the Tires\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fill your bike&#8217;s tires to their maximum pressure to avoid flat tires.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Changes in temperature, particularly over a long period, will cause the tire\u2019s air pressure to wane.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, an issue that frequently pops up with long-term bike storage is <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.continental-tires.com\/car\/tire-knowledge\/tire-damage-age-repair\/flat-spotting\">flat-spotting<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. When this happens, the tires flatten over time because of prolonged contact with the ground. To avoid this, take the bike out for a spin once a month, put it on a lift, or simply remove the tires.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cover the Bike<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ve spent a lot of money on your bike, so take good care of it in storage<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Invest in a high-quality motorcycle cover. Avoid plastic tarps or other cheap options, which can cause scratches on the paint.
