Since this is my first season riding, and as winter is coming up on us. I wanted to know what everyone does to winterize their bikes? No I don't mean parking it in the garages and ride em next season.. Please post up some tips..

I dont think you want to winterize your bike cause soemtimes its nice and you'll want to ride it. Its a good thing is to raise the tires so it dont get dry get some stands handy or kowa has them for under $100 for front and rear. Also a battery tender.

sandeep in reply to your pm
here are the links

Kowatools has them for $89 a pair

OR

handy has them for $99


TJ and all you yamaha guys that need special front stands

Kowa has a sale on them $42


Man I feel like Kmart. Attn all shoppers blue light specials

 

[syk0path]

Ok btw they are the same exact stands so go with the cheapest price i dont know what they charge for shipping so call both places and see. post up when you find prices to let everyone else know

and another thing go with the rubber rear pads, eventhough the bobbins are more secure the pads offer flexability. Like if you changed your bike or if you want to help a freind out in need.

POSTWHORE :twofinger


Sandeep,
You'll want to get a battery tender even if you don't plan on winterizing fully. If you don't plan on riding once or twice a week, you'll be better off taking the battery out and hooking it up to the tender so it doesn't lose charge.


And if anyone cracks another joke about me winterizing my bike last year... Manny, I'll beat the snot out of you.

I start looking for 190/50-ZR17 knobbies for the rear so I can get traction in the snow.

Listen to Drew, he's a pro! :laughing

And then I'll tell Nat what you did all week.. :redflip

My thoughts exactly ... as long as it is above freezing and there is no ice/snow on the road I am out there.

 

[ED_00R6]

If it's over 45 degrees, I am out riding. If I don't ride for a week, I start going crazy and get all upset.

We are pretty lucky here in NJ, you can technically ride all year round. Don't winterize just put on an extra sweatshirt and take it a little slower black ice can be a bitch!

Thanks for all the info guys.. :confused

 

[GLeeTLR]

Good info, came across unexpectedly. By the way, are those Kowa stands good quality?

Whats up Glee

I have the handy. The handy and kowa are the same stands just different logo stickers. We have talked about this in the pit area so instead of me aggravating my carpal tunnel I will direct you to the disscussion
