SERVICE TIPS FOR WINTER

- Clean your Bike:
Wash and dry the bike thoroughly. Insect guts are acidic and can eat through fork seals given the opportunity. Wax painted areas and apply a thin layer of light oil or petroleum jelly to chrome and aluminum areas to prevent rusting.

- Battery:

Remove the battery and store it away from direct sunlight, in a warm area - batteries freeze, causing them to crack and leak and can cost big bucks. Check your battery's electrolyte level and top it up if necessary - use only distilled water and never top it up with acid! Install a Battery Tender pigtail onto the battery while it's still in the bike. A Battery Tender is something that will charge your battery to full capacity to maintain the battery but not overcharge it.

- Coolant:

Check the cooling system (if your bike is liquid cooled). Check the level and top up if necessary. Better still, it is probably a good time to change the coolant altogether. The coolant should be a 50/50 antifreeze/water mix.

- Fuel:

Buy gasoline antifreeze and put stabilizer in it as this will help maintain the gasoline's combustible qualities over the winter. Fill your gas tank almost full just prior to storage to prevent any water that may be present from condensing on the inside of the tank and causing rust. Drain your carbs and don't refill them. Gas left in the carbs for a long time can turn into a varnish - like substance that will clog jets and stick floats.

- Oil:

Change your oil filter (old oil is rather corrosive). Rotate the engine a few times to circulate the fresh oil. The plugs will probably have to be removed but leave them in their caps AND grounded to prevent damage to the ignition system. Also, make sure that there is nothing flammable nearby, as the plugs will still be sparking! Re-install the plugs. For long periods of storage (a year or so) place a tablespoon of clean engine oil into each cylinder prior to rotating. Lubricate all cable and joints with proper lube (avoid WD40 because it evaporates). Clean the chain thoroughly with degreaser, then lubricate it heavily.

- Tires:

Inflate the tires to the recommended pressures. Raise the bike onto the centre stand and lift the front of the bike until the front wheel is off the ground. Support the frame with wooden blocks thus ensuring that both wheels are off the ground (concrete or cinder blocks can crack under weight and scratch the paint). If your bike has a side stand only, move the bike around once a month (the more the better) to rotate the tires, thereby preventing flat spots.

Inside or outside, a cover is a good idea. Avoid plastic as it turns brittle with the cold and can rip, whip against painted areas and/or trap moisture underneath it (as it doesn't breathe). A proper canvas bike cover (preferably with a tie cord and a lock) is always best.
Do not store in direct sunlight and try to keep it in an area that has a minimal temperature fluctuation. A steady temperature is best. The sun can heat the tank and fuel, causing overflows and condensation build up.
Finally, remember, thieves don't go away in the winter. Try to keep the bike well hidden and locked up at all times. If they don't know it's there, they won't steal it.
