Winterizing
This is more for the northerners that can't or don't ride in the winter.
What do you do, if anything, to winterize your bike? And is there a certain day you do this or call it a "season"? My friend winterizes his the day after Thanksgiving. Last edited by racedoll; 10-13-2009 at 11:30 PM.. |

Fuel stabilizer, Lube everything, spray anything that could rust with PAM, change the oil if it has not been done in the recently, Plug the exhaust and remove the seat, (Rodents...Slim chance but still.) Record the mileage and remove the battery. Push them up close to the wall of my shed and cover them up.
Now with addition of a liquid cooled bike I tested the coolant strength too. Dont want any freezing. It usually takes place somewhere around Halloween but can go into Mid November depending on the weather.

ususlay the stabilizer if its going to be down for a while, more than 6 weeks take out the battery and put it on a tender, with my own garage now I can leave it in the bike. Put it on the center stand and maybe this year throw a cover on it.
