Proper seasonal storage is essential to keep your Everyday Motorcycles Classic Series in top condition and prevent corrosion during periods of inactivity. Taking the right steps before storing your motorcycle will help maintain its performance and appearance for years to come.

Preparing Your Motorcycle for Storage

Before putting your motorcycle away for the season, start by giving it a thorough cleaning. Removing dirt, grime, and road salt will prevent surface corrosion and damage to the paint and metal parts. After washing, dry the bike completely to avoid moisture buildup.

  • Change the oil and filter: Old oil contains contaminants that can corrode engine components over time.
  • Fill the gas tank: A full tank prevents moisture accumulation inside the tank and keeps seals from drying out.
  • Add fuel stabilizer: This prevents fuel breakdown and gum deposits in the fuel system.
  • Disconnect the battery: Remove or use a trickle charger to maintain battery health during storage.
  • Protect exposed metal: Apply a thin layer of anti-corrosion spray to vulnerable parts like the chain and exhaust.
  • Store in a dry, covered area: Use a breathable motorcycle cover to protect against dust and moisture.

Regular Checks During Storage

Even when stored, it’s a good idea to check on your motorcycle periodically. Look for any signs of moisture, corrosion, or pest activity. Starting the engine occasionally helps keep mechanical parts lubricated and battery charged.

By following these seasonal storage tips, your Everyday Motorcycles Classic Series will be ready to ride smoothly when you bring it out of storage.
