Storing your motorcycle properly during winter prevents corrosion and mechanical issues when you’re ready to ride again.

Cleaning and Inspection

Wash and wax your bike thoroughly to remove dirt and salt residues that cause corrosion. Inspect tires and brakes for wear.

Small repairs now can prevent bigger issues during storage.

Fuel and Battery Care

Fill the tank and add a fuel stabilizer to prevent degradation. Remove or maintain the battery using a trickle charger.

Ensure terminals are clean and connections tight for optimal battery health.

Lubrication and Tire Pressure

Lubricate the chain and moving parts to prevent rust. Inflate tires to recommended pressure to avoid flat spots.

Elevate the bike on stands if possible to keep tires off the ground.

Storage Environment

Choose a dry, covered space free from extreme temperatures and moisture. Use breathable covers to protect the finish.

Check periodically for signs of pests or mold.
