Winter Maintenance

Recommended Posts

Alright, trying to stay busy and keep the bike up while its sleeping. What do you guys normally do during the winter months to prepare for spring?

Its not a bird, but it is fuel injected (GSXR 1000).

What I've done so far:

Topped off antifreeze

1/2 can of seafoam in about two gallons of fuel

Battery out and on a trickle charger- full charge

Random starts in November and December

Plan to do:

Change air filter

Lube chain

Might do:

Change spark plugs

Am I forgetting anything? Any other recommendations?

Battery tender instead of the starts.

When was the last time you changed the brake fluid? Good time to torque all the hardware.

Or do like Tim does and take it all apart and put it back together again. :icon_hail::icon_hail::icon_hail:

Brake fluid was checked when I changed front and rear pads last spring. I'll take a look next go round.

Change the oil, top off the gas and stop with the "random starts".

Yeah, you know... it was 60F here yesterday (and probably there too). Had to let it purr :icon_whistle:

Probably do oil and filter when the weather is nice. Its a little too cramped in the shed.

Hmmm, hookers huh? May have to look into that. Just have 'em dance around it? :icon_biggrin:
