Winterizing the bike

[Barnes]

Well the snow is finally here, and after a chilly ride to work on friday, but an awesome ride home. What do you guys do to winterize your bike?

Fuel conditioner, battery tender, cover, hibernate

Drain fuel. Let it run till fuel in carb is gone. Remove battery , store in warm place. No heat in shed.

As above, but change the oil when hot after the stabilizer has been added. As long as there is a Battery Tender on it, you can leave it in the bike, as there's no reason to remove it.

I always treat my leather (and a good washing)8 on my bike before winter storage. In the spring it's a quick wipe and away I go.
Lube anything I can as well, check tire pressure and so on.
Come spring I go through the entire bike looking for loose bolts etc, recheck tire pressure, give it a once over and away I go.


Sent from my phone ---- is anyone there ?????

Ya, I ended up doing an oil change, filled up the gas tank and added stabilizer. I took the battery out and left it on a battery tender. Took the bike out 2 weeks ago when we had that warm snap, she fired right up.

Just gotta get some room in the garage to install the shift kit, and a few other bits and pieces, then she'll be ready to rock and roll! ABOUT TIME!

You don't need to remove it, just the battery tender.
