Here are some suggestions to help avoid damage to your motorcycle if you put it into storage during the winter season:
- Warm up the engine so that all the old oil will drain.
- Refill with new oil.
- Clean the oil filter or replace with a new one.
- Have a complete lubrication job done, making sure that the chain receives a light coating of oil.
- On two-stroke engines the transmission should be drained and refilled
- Remove the spark plugs and give each cylinder a coating of oil.
- Clean and inspect the plugs and install new ones if necessary. •
- Make sure the fuel tank, lines and carburetor are completely drained of fuel. •
- Disconnect the battery and wash off any corrosion with a solution of baking soda and water.
- Store the battery at room temperature or slightly cooler. •
- Inflate the tires to their recommended pressure.
- Wash and wax all painted surfaces and polish all the chrome.
- Be sure your machine is protected from the weather.
