Be Ready for Spring

How to ProperlyWinterize and StoreYourMotorcycle

With every page turn of the calendar, your time to enjoy your ride dwindles. To ensure your bike is ready to go as soon as the weather warms back up in the spring, you have to store it properly for the winter. These winterization tips can help. Keep It Clean Getting your bike ready for a long winter involves some general maintenance. Change the oil, clean off all debris and dirt, and keep a battery tender on it to help the battery stay charged all winter long. Without proper care, cold weather can corrode and damage your motorcycle. Store It Properly Once your bike is ready to be put away, finding the right location for storage is important. Ideally, temperature- and moisture-controlled garages are the best places to store your bike because they minimize the effects of a potentially harsh weather. If this isn’t feasible for you, keep it someplace where it won’t be in the way, can be covered up, and won’t be too exposed to the elements. Keep UpWithMaintenance There’s always one wonderful winter day when the weather creeps up above 55 degrees, the sun starts to shine, and you hear a few birds

in the distance. You pull the bike out of the garage, bundle up, and take that first ride of the year. Sure, the weatherman

claims there’s a late-winter snowstorm coming soon.

But who cares?Well, you should. The bike will likely have to be

carefully stored again for a while, so it’s important to maintain your bike’s winter protection by cleaning it up after your late- winter ride. Remove damaging salt residue and clean off any grime and dirt before putting it away again.

Storing your motorcycle properly during the winter is essential to its longevity, so we recommend not skimping on these best practices.
