    I live in the Deep South, winterizing is unnecessary yet I still felt as if I needed to watch this video. I was mentally asking myself why I’m wasting my time, until I saw Bike Wash Lemmy and it all made sense.

    Lemmy, your the dude, another great tutorial, informative with a twist of Monty Python insanity. Eh, the bit with you washing the bike hurt my eyes but my wife seemed to enjoy it lol. My top tip for protecting my bikes over the winter is treating them with ACF-50, far better and less messy than WD40, works on everything - engine, chrome, cables, paint etc, all except the brakes. Unlike wax the stuff seeps into all the nooks and crannies to protect against any chance of the evil rust setting into those hard to reach places.

  • @PainterD54
    @PainterD54 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    What I've been doing for the past 20 years is just add the correct amount of Seafoam in the tank and run the bike until the mixture gets into the engine. then shut it off. You may want to shut the fuel off if your bike has a petcock. The tank should be FULL so it won't start to rust on the inside. An empty tank will start to rust from the moisture in the air.
    Plug in a float charger (not just any battery charger, make sure it's one that maintains the battery without over charging it)
    The I jack it off the floor to get the weight off the suspension and tires. Then I cover it with a large sheet to keep dust from settling on the paint and chrome.That's it. When the riding season comes around, all you need to do is turn on the fuel and hit the starter switch and you're good to go.

    I've been winterizing my bikes for 7 years and I do like having my pitbull stands getting the tires off the ground preventing flat spots.

  • @Dave-wy5nq
    @Dave-wy5nq 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love Lemmy in ways that would make most of you at least a little unconfortable...but...
    Storing a bike outside with no seat and no cover in winter weather is a bad idea. While the reasons mentioned are good, the problem is that you'll have water getting into all sorts of places a) it wouldn't normally be, and b) freezing there. This can cause issues with electrical connectors, bodywork, all sorts of fasteners, etc. If your bike has to be outside in the winter, invest in a breathable waterproof cover, and make a point to uncover the bike at least once every couple of weeks for a day or two of clear weather, to let moisture evaporate.

    I live in Virginia, since I don't have a garage just yet I keep my bike in Florida. While I don't get to ride it as often as I would like I do take 5 weeks of vacation a year. A friend of mine has a garage that I keep it in and he rides it to keep everything in check. We have a serious Harley shop going on, he has two 94's, my 90 and another friend has two other bikes stored there as well. Mostly because I have the mechanical abilities I brought a tool box full of tools down the keep there and he bought the air compressor and motorcycle lift. When asked if I was going to bring it to Va. my reply is when I build a garage I will buy another bike for Virginia, cause that's how I roll.
    Good information however I use the fuel treatment on every tank, as you said the fuel breaks down and due to the limited ride time my bike gets I feel it's better to keep the fuel system treated all the time, I also only burn super in my toys. My jet ski's stay in Fl. as well and while it costs a little more at the pump, I feel it saves me more in the long run.
    In closing let me say "DUDE THAT WAS SOOOOO WRONG" while I'm sure the "wash pics" were all in fun. You have no idea of the emotional scaring something like that can cause. While I'm not sure just how much moonshine it going to take to wash that image away, all I can say is cheers.

    Yeah man. Concrete will suck the moisture out of tires bad. It will cause them to dry rot. It is an issue here in Ohio when we store our boats for the winter. Tires will be dry rotted in about two winters doing that so we put 2x6 boards under them or put the trailer om jack stands in front of and behind the wheels. I would definitely do the cardboard for motorcycle tires over the winter.

    I will be able to ride my bike after a "9 month winter". The only "winterizing' I have done was disconnect the battery, add stabilizer to the tank, ride the bike and cover it. It is in a garage. What preparations should be performed prior to turning the key? Its a V rod muscle. I never did any of this to my Honda and its runs great (due for a carb rebuild though). So I am new to winterizing.

    • @RevZilla
      @RevZilla  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      After reinstalling the battery, I would just go through the regular T-CLOCS pre-ride inspection: check the tires/wheels, controls, lights, oil level, chassis, and side stand. -DrewZilla

I'm always looking for good tips on protecting my investment. Thank You

    My 2019 Kawasaki bike manual says to store the bike in the winter on boards under the tires. I've heard that concrete tends to leach moisture out of the tires and may cause cracking. So I'm going to follow the manufacturer's recommendation. I guess it can't hurt. Thanks for the info!

    Can you elaborate on the part about changing fluids (starting at 4:00)? Are you suggesting removing engine oil and leaving it empty throughout winter, or doing an oil change (and putting in fresh oil) before storage? If it's the latter, are you supposed to do another oil change in spring time? Awesome video btw!

    I saw study were you are correct an concerned with water, ethanol an additive (everything I do including mixing gas for winter rides). Many are saying that ethanol collects water, so best not too store bike with ethanol absorbing moisture from air? (I have "Non-Ethanol" fuel avail at Indian reservation, but only regular grade! Do I want regular fuel or ethanol?) So, several ways: fill up with Non-Ethanol or empty tank with ethanol? Retreat separating fuel an ethanol out? Or buying ethanol has treatment an add another additive on your work bench? (Mixing out fuels seems dangerous, messy an time consuming!) Harley even has a "Winter fuel starting treatment" My wash isn't as exciting or glamorous, but my 03' Dyna in stored in my living space, haha!

      I'm in the south UK and I like to ride most of the year, but I really don't like it when they start spreading salt and grit all over the damn roads so that's usually the month or two I put my bike in the garage for good. The salt can corrode a bike like hell, and grit just makes the road surface really dicey for motorbikes :(

    If you are storing it outside does it matter how cold it might actually get? cause where I live it can drop down to -40. Thanks.

    Lemmy also the cardboard is so the concrete in your shop doesnt stuck the moisture out of the tires and cause them to crack and dry rot.

    One thing could be an idea, to plug the exhaust pipe, so no moisture or so can enter and rust the things inside. What is your opinion about this? Also, if you leave the bike on its tires for long time (Siberian winterizing, or myself Norwegian :-) ) would be also a good idea to lift the bike from the ground so the tires are up in the air. You can see a small flat area on tires rolling surface after a long period of storage (the weight of the bike will "flatten" that area where is in contact with ground), or am I wrong? What is your opinion Lemmy?

      Some people plug the exhaust with a rag. We also sell a better-sealing rubber plug (www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/bike-master-muffler-rubber-plug). As for tire flat spots, Lemmy and others here have winterized hundreds of times and never had a problem with flat-spotting. We aren't saying it can't happen, but it's a complaint Lemmy's never had or even seen in verifiable condition. -DrewZilla

      Cool, I have not seen either such thing (flat-spotting) just heard about it. In this case this is a myth only :-) Thanks for feedback.
