Autumn is here and many people prefer not to ride through winter. If you are about to park your bike or PWC in the shed for a few months then there are a few precautions you should take:

• Change the engine oil to prevent the by-products of combustion from damaging your engine over winter.
• Inflate your tyres to higher than normal pressure. About another 10 – 15psi higher is a good figure to go for. This will help keep your tyres nice and round during the months of sitting stationary.
• Fill your tank full of fuel. This will help eliminate air from the tank which reduces the likelihood of rust occurring in the tank and also helps prevent the fuel going stale. Draining fuel out of the carby’s is a good idea too.
• Attaching a Battery Tender to your battery to keep it charged is a great way of prolonging the life of your battery.
• Cover your bike with a “proper” bike cover. Don’t use a cloth or tarp because cloth absorbs moisture which then sits against your bodywork and tarps hold moisture in. Both not ideal. We have bike covers available for purchase on our website.

For Personal Watercraft they require extra attention to prevent corrosion both inside and out.

• It’s a great idea to get a pre-winter service completed by our workshops.
• Remove the engine covers and keep them off over winter to prevent condensation.
• To look after the engine internals we recommend “fogging” the engine. We offer kits to suit most models that allows a small amount of engine oil to be squirted into the intake manifold which then provides a protective coating over the internals of the combustion chamber.
• Pump up the tyres on your trailer too. About another 10 – 15psi is all it takes.

If you follow these steps, come spring time you’ll be able to pull your ride from the garage and fire it up safe in the knowledge that you’ve done your best to look after it even when you’re not riding.
