After the battery, winterising is about the tank and engine. A few steps before the winter break save you trouble with corrosion and starting problems in spring.
Preparing tank and engine
- Fill the tank: A full tank prevents condensation and rust inside.
- Consider an oil change: Old oil contains acids. Many riders change it before winter – your owner's manual has the recommendation.
- Follow the manufacturer: Whether a fuel stabiliser makes sense depends on your bike.
If you winterise carefully, you start spring relaxed. You'll find suitable coaching offers for the new season here.
