MOTOREX Winter Storage Guide

1. Check the antifreeze concentration to make sure you’re covered for anticipated temperatures. Add Motorex Antifreeze which is specially formulated for water cooled motorcycles (some car grades use high silica/sand concentrations to remove scale. This is really hard on motorcycle waterpumps).

2. Fill the petrol tank with fuel to prevent the accumulation of condensation and the subsequent rusting of the tank from the inside out.

3. Wash and wax. Use a prep spray such as Motorex Protect and Shine 645 to protect rubber (not tires) and plastic. Run the bike to temperature to remove any water.

4. Add Motorex Fuel Stabilser to the fuel to preserve the fuel until spring.

5. Drain the carburetors where possible. If you don't want to try this then turn off the gas and run the bike on the petrol/Fuel Stabiliser mixture until it stalls. Alternatively just run the Fuel Stabilser through the system. The ideal is to leave as little fuel in the carbs as possible so that when the fuel evaporates it doesn’t clog up the carbs.

6. While the bike is warm change the oil & filter as the products of combustion that have accumulated in the oil are acidic and they will tend to eat metal over the winter.

7. Remove your battery and charge periodically over the course of the winter (always supervised and 2 amps or less).

8. Clean and lube chain using Motorex Chain Clean 611 and Chainlube 622

9. Check and inflate tires to recommended pressures. Lift tires off the ground using stands or at least set on carpet or other material to get off the cold concrete.

10. Cover and kiss good night.
