How to winterize your motorcycle
1. Treat the Fuel System
Treating your fuel system is something to think about on your last ride of the year. Pick up a bottle of fuel stabilizer and follow the directions to get the right amount in the tank. Then, top off your fuel for the ride home. This allows the stabilizer and the fuel to mix up in the gas tank, keeping the ethanol from gumming up your fuel system.
2. Change the Oil on Your Motorcycle
A large part of preparing a motorcycle for long-term storage involves getting the engine ready for extended hibernation. Old oil can be acidic, and take its toll on engine parts during the winter. It's a good idea to change the oil and filter on your motorcycle before you put it away for the winter.
3. Disconnect Your Motorcycle Battery
There are two schools of thought here, and it's entirely up to you. Some people prefer to disconnect their battery and remove it from the bike. Others make use of a Battery Tender to maintain the charge throughout the winter months. Where you're storing the bike might play a role in which path you choose. If the bike is stored indoors, you might want to use the Battery Tender. However, if you're storing the motorcycle outside, you may simply want to remove the battery.
4. Winterize Your Motorcycle Fuel System
We recommended adding a fuel stabilizer to your fuel tank and filling it up with fresh fuel. However, you will also want to get the fuel out of the carburetor. To do this, close the fuel petcock to turn off flow to the carburetor, and then consult your manual to find the drain screws to get the gasoline out of the float bowls. If you're winterizing a fuel-injected motorcycle, you're in luck: there's nothing to drain.
5. Care for Your Motorcycle Tires
Like any other part of your motorcycle, the tires are not immune to damage over the winter. If you have a motorcycle stand, getting the tires off the ground helps to prevent flat-spotting. If you don't have a stand, use plywood or carpet under the tires to protect them from moisture. Park your bike away from ozone-creating appliances such as freezers and furnaces, which can create gasses that damage rubber on the tires and elsewhere on your bike.
6. Plug Up Openings on Your Motorcycle
Openings like exhaust pipes or intakes can house insects or rodents setting up camp for the winter. There are actually some specially made exhaust plugs for the openings on your motorcycle, or you can use plastic as well. Don't forget the plugs are in there when you're ready to ride again, as they can seriously damage your motorcycle if left on.
If you take these 6 steps to heart and do this every year, your motorcycle will be ready next year and you will have many less headaches come spring.
