STEPS TO SURVIVE WINTER’S WRATH

1 - STABILIZE YOUR FUEL

Fuel stabilizers reduce corrosion and build-up that will clog and ruin fuel system components. Mix in the stabilizer with a partial tank of fuel, top off your tank and run your engine for 10 – 15 minutes to ensure the stabilizer makes it all the way through your fuel system.
 

2 - AVOID ENGINE CORROSION

Fogging the engine’s internal combustion system protects cylinder and rings from rust build up. And since used oil contains contaminants and moisture that can cause corrosion, store your bike with fresh oil always!

3 - THROW IN SOME COOLANT

Most motorcycle engines are mode of thin, lightweight, high-tech aluminum that is susceptible to corrosion. If the coolant freezes, it can cause cracks in the engine or damage other components of the cooling system so, be sure your bike is stored with fresh coolant that is rated at low temperatures.

 4 - DON’T DAMAGE YOUR BATTERY

A battery tender keeps your vehicle’s battery fully charged during cold winter months when batteries naturally self-discharge faster and lose capacity in low temperatures. It prevents the frustration and expense of a dead battery on a freezing morning when you need to start your motorcycle or off road vehicle most. By delivering a smart, low-current maintenance charge, it can actually extend the overall lifespan of your battery instead of letting it sit deeply discharged for weeks.

5 - PROTECT THOSE SURFACES

Nothing’s worse than a rusty bike ! Wash your bike to get all the road grime and bugs off. Then use a surface protectant to keep metal and painted surfaces free from moisture and corrosion.

 6 - COVER IT UP

Storing your bike under a cover is the best way to protect it from dust, moisture, pets and people. Choose the right cover for the climate, make sure it is waterproof for outdoor storage. And don’t forget a lock to secure it !
