Motorcycle Winter Storage StoryTips - How's it going people, BrownBrady here and Thank you for tuning in It is the winter of And in this episode I'm just gonna be showing you How I've been storing my motorcycle And I'm gonna try to start it. So first of all the temperature outside Is minus degrees Celsius I don't know what that is in Fahrenheit But it's pretty damn cold I'm gonna show you where I've been storing my motorcycle

It is inside my garage I moved here maybe about months ago And my garage had been really packed I didn't have time to clear it But last week I had a chance to clear it So now there's a pathway here My motorcycle was just on the ground Sitting there for about months And I was afraid that I would get Some flat spots on the tires So I've been able to get them up on the stands

Motorcycle Winter Storage Tips

As you can see here I also found an old bed sheet I think that's a "twin size" bed sheet So I used it as a cover because I noticed that it was really dusty in here I left the battery in there I didn't bother to remove it I'm just gonna attempt to start it And leave it running for maybe minutes Or until the temperature reaches Normal operating temperature I forgot how to start this thing What do you know I'm not sure if you can hear me but It seems to be humming along right now Gonna check the lights The blinkers are working

 I'm gonna go ahead and open The garage door a little bit To get some of the fumes out So from what I've heard and from what I've read Proper winter storage is for you to Remove the battery and leave it indoors Cold temperature is not supposed to be Good for the battery and once you store it indoors Leave it on a charger Let it charge over the winter And that should prolong the life of the battery I didn't bother to do that this year Because I was so busy moving Wow look at all that smoke Again

Story Tips of Motorcycle Winter Storage- Cold Start 25 Celsius 

I'm just gonna leave it running Until the temperature gauge there reads normal Or about halfway So it's been about minutes And it looks like the temperature there Is reading normal Before I sign off I just wanted to just I guess cover the proper way Of storing a motorcycle from what I've read And I only followed maybe half of them

I guess the first one is location You'd want to store your motorcycle where It is dry away from all the elements Away from sunlight ultraviolet rays Snow and you know all sorts of debris That might fall on the bike So this location is perfect It's inside a garage its dark and It's dry in here so it's fine Second is service all of the fluids before you store it I kind of did that I changed the oil before the winter

So I think that one is okay I guess the third would be the mufflers As you can see here there's some condensation Going on here as I'm running it Water vapour is coming out of the pipe here I don't know what to do with the mufflers but You want to make sure that they don't rust Over the winter

What else The battery that's an important thing I didn't bother taking the battery out But you're supposed to take the battery out Leave it indoors leave it on a charger I didn't do that But it seems to be working fine right now The reason why I'm running it for this long Is I guess to trickle charge it Hopefully that's enough to leave A charge on the battery for next week When I'll be starting it again Maybe wax it or clean it

Before leaving it for the long term And putting a cover on it to protect it from dust So anyway I guess that's so much for this story Thanks for attention and if you have any comments Any other tips for winter storage For your motorcycle comment here okay ^^
