Winter Storage

Store your bike for winter and wake it up right

A few months of idle time can cause stale fuel, a dead battery, flat spots and corrosion. These guides show how to prepare a motorcycle for the off season, including fuel treatment, battery care, a thorough cleaning, tire support and a safe, dry place to park it. You will also find a spring checklist for waking the bike up, covering fluids, brakes, tires and controls. Take your time before the first ride, and fix anything that looks questionable first.
