It's common to leave your motorbike stopped when winter arrives. But things can get ugly if you don't take the precautions to store the bike for an extended time. These guidelines will help you keep everything under control while your two-wheeler awaits warmer days to come.

First Things First

By following these tips, you'll be able to have the motorbike in perfect condition when the sun and suitable temperatures finally return. Take this break as an opportunity to pay more exhaustive attention to some parts of your bike that don't require this level of upkeep in a warm climate. Some prefer to continue moving by motorcycle, no matter the weather. It's vital to keep the motorcycle maintenance up to date since, in this way, your safety will increase. Keep in mind the following elements that require special care:

Focus on the Tires

A well-maintained tire provides more safety throughout the year. But, in times of rain and frost, the rubber tread must be perfect to avoid skidding with the motorcycle. This step is crucial because the tire achieves its optimum temperature when it heats up. If your motorcycle has old tires or poor condition, it's more challenging to reach this temperature because the tires have lost elasticity.

Check the Antifreeze Liquid

This component should be at its optimum level throughout the year. Its importance increases considerably in the winter season since this liquid maintains its properties at low temperatures. This compound is added to other liquids, such as gasoline or diesel, to prevent them from freezing when temperatures drop.

Take a Look at the Chain

Although you usually need to grease and clean the chain for proper motorcycle maintenance, in winter, you should check it more times than usual since these weather conditions favor corrosion in this part of the bike.

Pay Attention to the Lights

Natural light is more limited in winter as the sun dims earlier, leaving more hours of darkness. Having the lights in optimal condition is extremely important to make you visible to other drivers and clearly see the road.

Beware of Ice

Sometimes you don't know what you'll find on the road, but if you think you'll come across some ice on the asphalt, avoid riding the bike for that day. There are indeed winter chains for motorcycle tires, but their safety is poor, so it's better not to risk it.

Electronics

If you have a motorcycle with high-end electronics, it is best to use it in the winter season. Activate the following settings:

• Traction control
• Level stabilizer
• ABS at full power

Protection

Ideally, it would be best if you stored your motorcycle indoors. But if you can't put it in a garage, remember that your vehicle and all its parts will experience frost, snow, rain, and low temperatures outside. Save your motorcycle from winter rust with a waterproof tarp and cover it when you park it on the street.

Keep it Clean

In some cities, salt is added to prevent ice forming on the asphalt. It's clear that this step is necessary to improve vehicle safety, but you must maximize your motorcycle's sanitation when passing through these surfaces. Water splashes can contain this salt, damaging the bike's paint and plastics with its corrosive power. Therefore, to keep the motorcycle in perfect shape during the winter season, it's crucial to check on these points in contact with the splashes. If the bike's appointment with the mechanic is approaching, it would be best to take it to the shop before the harshest days of winter begin. This step will ensure that you start the cold season with the right foot.
