Hey guys last Saturday I purchased a 2008 gsx r600. It’s winter now so I’m trying to figure out what I need to do with my bike to keep it safe over the winter. Things I have done so far includes, 4x8 1 inch thick plywood for the bike to rest on so it doesn’t sit on concrete. I have discharged the battery and taken it off the motorcycle. I heard I need to empty the gas tank as well as the oil fluids and when season starts I should refill It while it was empty. Please help me out with what I need to do in order to protect my bike over the winter so when next season comes around I can truly ride my new bike
Umm... do you live at the north pole? Not sure if trolling ?
Fill it up with ethanol free gas and run it for a little while. Gas will store must fine over the winter.
If you discharged the battery completely you just ruined it. You should have disconnected it and put it on a battery tender.
Change the oil before you store it, leave it full.
Check the coolant with a cheap tester to make sure you have an adequate mixture for the temperature you expect to see. 50/50 is the normal ratio.
It is completely unnecessary unless you are storing it outside for 6 +months but you can buy fogging oil and lightly fog the cylinders.
