Change it back to coolant.
Fuel Stabilizer.
Oil Change.

All of this is done by my mechanic which is also where I store my bike. ;)

I've been slacking lately

1. Fill up tank and add stabil, go for the last short ride of season. The top off tank with gas.

2. While the bike is warm...change the oil (cheapo dino is fino if you plan on changing it again at the begining of the season)
3. Coolant should be changed every 2 years so if need be change it
4. Battery out and on tender
5. Clean the chain if you want and grease it up
6. Toss the cover on

Make sure the coolant is really still coolant, keep the tank topped off with fresh gas, ride it at least once a week.

Fine. I'll find some NC plates to throw on it, but if I get pulled over I'm blaming you!

but, but she's cute.....

well..there CAN be exceptions made :lol:


I have a few plates on the wall she can use

I don't have to do this anymore (my bikes stay warm and toasty over the winter :nee:) but for ultra cold storage:

1. Drain carbs (if you have carbs, otherwise no, cause you'll spend forever looking for the drain screw).

2. Fuel stabilizer/top off tank.

3. Fresh oil, overfilled as much as possible, (condensation in the cases leads to rusty bits, so I just "pickle" the bottom end in oil). You may want to leave yourself a note...

4. Get the tires off the concrete. If you don't have stands, park on plywood or thick cardboard. Tires and frozen concrete is not a happy combo.

5. Pull the battery, store it someplace warm with a tender on it.

6. Remove seat, place in closet. Foam and vinyl don't like prolonged freezing.

7. Plug exhaust (if you have mice).

8. Sit around and bitch until MotoGP comes back on.

I fill the tank and put stabalizer in it.
I put it at the front of the garage, just incase we have a nice sunny day that I can take it out in January.

:lol: Yeah we don't mind letting these types in.


I don't winterize since I ride most of the year.

Also since my garage is part of my walk-out basement and partially underground it never freezes in there.

If the garage doors are closed it never seems to drop below 50 plus it stays cooler in the summer than outside temps.

My garage is the same way....
