Winterize Your Bike
I was going to write an article myself with all the helpful hints you could stand, but in researching preventing corrosion and rust I came across this awesome article written by Michael Ross, a roadracer, writer and instructor at the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute, on superbikeplanet.com. Instead of trying to re-word what he’d already done so well, I’ve pasted the first two paragraphs, and a link to the article. It’s well worth the read!
How to: Winterize Your Bike
by Michael Ross
Winter is fast approaching and if you live in a frigid climate it’s time to store your bike for the season. In storing your bike for a few months over the winter, your main concern is to avoid corrosion while in storage and the goal is to have a bike that is ready to go when you are.
The most crucial areas in need of protection are the piston rings, cylinder walls, and valve seats. The enemy here is moisture, which can enter the engine from any of a number of places and cause serious damage. Since its not really practical to try and close up all of the possible areas of entry, we will concentrate on moisture proofing instead.
