The shadows are getting longer and the colder months are coming. it may come as a surprise to some, but many people put their motorcycles away for the colder months of winter and don't ride. so for those people, here are our top five tips for preparing to store their motorcycle for the winter months:

Clean and lubricate the motorcycle: Before storing your motorcycle, make sure to give it a thorough cleaning, including the wheels, chain, and other components. Once it's clean, lubricate the chain, throttle cables, and any other moving parts to prevent rust and corrosion.

Add fuel stabilizer and fill the tank: To prevent the fuel from deteriorating and clogging up the fuel system, add a fuel stabilizer to a full tank of gas. This will help keep the fuel fresh and prevent any moisture from building up in the tank.

Remove the battery and store it separately: It's a good idea to remove the battery and store it in a warm and dry location, away from any flammable materials. You can also use a battery tender to keep the battery charged during storage.

Protect the tires: To prevent flat spots and cracking, inflate the tires to the recommended pressure and place the motorcycle on a stand or lift to keep the tires off the ground.

Cover the motorcycle: Finally, cover the motorcycle with a breathable cover to protect it from dust, dirt, and moisture. Avoid using a plastic cover, as this can trap moisture and cause rust and corrosion.

All going well, your motorcycle will be fresh as a daisy and ready to ride when spring thaws things out again.
