Winter storage tips

[CT/]

As i wont be using the bike much during the winter months can anyone please give any usefull advice on storing, it will be kept in an unheated garage, i have a oxford aquatex cover but my main concern is condensation from the freeze thaw cycles , i have no power to the garage, should i use extra covers ? Any advice please, thanks in advance.

I don't really do anything, just clean it, lube the chain, cover it when dry and leave it. You may need to charge the battery after a few months but generally my bikes start ok after a lay off.

Permabag. Canister inside bag to absorb moisture.

if you have them, stick the bike on front and rear paddock stands

I've clarted mine in ACF-50 and parked her in the garage. I've got a cover but I think a cover might cause condensation so will probably not use it.

Steve I read somewhere it doesn't do the front suspension much good to leave front end on paddock stands for a length of time.

Makes no odds if you do or don't.
