Winter is approaching.
I do not ride in Winter unless it is a very specially sunny day and roads are clean. (I do not have winter tires anyway for this vehicle, so no no).
This is what I do to prep the bike for winter storage, but I do not claim it is the best way, nor in this sequence necessarily.
1. Wash bike thoroughly, dry bike
2. Wax bike (but not the seat please)
3. Clean and oil chain
4. Change oil and oil filter (just before storage)
5. Put bike on mainstand or improvise something to prop up BOTH her tires (prevents flatspotting)
6. Hook up battery tender (or remove battery and hook up battery indoors)
7. For storage OUTSIDE a roofed garage, buy a good cover (with ventilation to prevent moisture building up)
8. Empty all storage spaces (like half-drunk bottle of coca-cola, etc)
Any other ideas boys and girls?
