Winter Is Coming - Is Your Motorcycle Ready?

How to store your motorcycle for winter

  • Long distance GPS tracking

    Pick the Right Storage Spot

    Store your bike in a dry, dark, and secure place - ideally your garage or shed. Cover windows to block sunlight and deter thieves from peeking in. If storing for months, start the engine occasionally to keep it ready for spring.
  • Easy to install

    Ride, Fill, and Stabilize

    Before storing, top up your tank to about 95% full and add fuel stabilizer to prevent rust and protect the engine. Go for a short ride to circulate the stabilizer through the system.
  • Schutz vor Diebstahl

    Clean & Protect Your Bike

    Wash your motorcycle thoroughly after your final ride to remove dirt and road grime. Let it dry completely, then apply wax or a protective coating to prevent rust and keep the fairings safe over winter.
  • Phone call

    Enable Theft Alerts

    If your bike isn’t stored at home, a Monimoto 9 tracker keeps it safe. It instantly alerts your phone if your motorcycle is moved, giving you peace of mind all winter long.
  • Battery powered motorcycle GPS tracker

    Remove & Charge the Battery

    Take out your battery and keep it on a trickle charger to maintain its charge over winter. This ensures your bike will start effortlessly when spring comes.
  • Lock

    Cover & Lock It

    Wrap the exhaust and use a quality bike cover to protect against moisture, critters, and rust. Even indoors, add extra security with a steering lock, disc lock, or heavy-duty chain to keep thieves at bay.

    If the bike is stolen over winter, claiming can be a nightmare.

    Better: Keep insurance active and paperwork accessible.

  • Starting the Bike Every Week “Just to Warm It Up” Toggle FAQ question answer

    Short start-ups without a full ride can cause condensation in the exhaust and engine, leading to corrosion.

    Tires can develop flat spots and lose pressure.
