Chilly temperatures have arrived, which means you’re likely not using your motorcycle much. If you’re thinking about putting it in a storage facility for the winter, you’re not alone. It’s essential that you take steps to store it properly, no matter what your reason for storing it is. Below, learn how to store your motorcycle so that it rides like new when you take it out. 

Inspect Your Motorcycle 

Ideally, you should have your motorcycle checked for any mechanical issues before putting it in a storage facility.

You should also fill your tires, as they slowly leak air even when not in use. If possible, remove the battery and put it on a trickle charger. If the battery goes unused for too long, it could drain or lose its charge.

Choosing the Right Storage Facility

When storing your bike, search for a storage facility that offers climate-controlled units. This allows you to control the temperature and humidity of the unit. A low humidity environment can help prevent rust from forming and prolong the life of your motorcycle.

Find a facility that offers the right-sized units for your needs. Choosing a unit that has too much space will cost you extra money. Remember, though, if you’re planning on storing accessories with your motorcycle, you’ll want room for those as well.
