Winterizing Your Motorcycle

❄️ Winterizing Your Motorcycle – Keep It in Top Shape

When the riding season ends and temperatures drop, it's time to put your bike into hibernation. With just a few smart steps, you’ll prevent rust, battery damage, and rough starts come spring.

Winter Storage Checklist

Disconnect the battery and store it indoors – ideally on a trickle charger.
Fill the fuel tank (for metal tanks) – prevents internal rust. Add fuel stabilizer if needed.
Clean the bike thoroughly – including chain, wheels, and underside.
Lubricate the chain – ideally while it’s still warm after a short ride.
Increase tire pressure slightly (0.2–0.5 bar above normal) or use paddock stands.
Protect fork, paint & plastics – with silicone spray or wax.
Cover the bike – only with a breathable motorcycle cover.
