HAVE YOU WINTERIZED YOUR MOTORCYCLE YET?
Below are a few tips on how to protect your investment, schedule your appointment for Winterization today!
Fuel System:
We recommend the use of a fuel stabilizer, to keep your gas fresh and protect your carbs or fuel injection and gas tank from corrosion and residue deposits. Star-Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment cures and prevents Ethanol fuel problems. Fill your tank and add Star-Tron following the directions on the bottle. Run the engine for 5-10 minutes to circulate the treated fuel through the system. It works great in lawn mowers, garden tools, snowmobiles, and personal watercraft too!
Tires:
Tires are affected by heat, sunlight, and dampness as well as Ozone, which is given off by electric motors. Keep your bike out of direct sunlight and away from electric motors, like the refrigerator or freezer in the garage. Store your bike with tires fully inflated in a cool, dry place. Use your center stand to take the weight of the bike off the tires.
Battery:
The simplest way to prolong battery life is to keep it fully charged. We recommend either a Battery Tender or Yuasa Charger. With either unit, you may leave your battery connected indefinitely. The units will self-regulate to keep the battery fully charged. ALWAYS USE CAUTION: follow the battery company and charger company’s instructions when handling a battery. It’s also beneficial to keep it in a warm, dry place, please remember a battery is very dangerous!
Lubrication:
During use, your engine oil becomes acidic from combustion. Prior to storage, we recommend that you change your oil and run the motor for a few minutes to circulate it. You may want to change it again in the spring, as condensation may form during storage. However, the fall change is more important. Don’t forget to lube the chain and all the linkages, too!
General:
There are several cover options, from inexpensive DOWCO indoor dust covers to the DOWCO Guardian/Weatherall covers for outdoor protection. Additionally, a liberal coat of high quality wax or protectant is a great way to protect your investment.
