[QUOTE="Pterodactyl, post: 1382769, member: 76805"] I store my rides in a heated shop and do the standard stuff. I like to put each bike up on the lift and do all the maintenance that is likely to be due in the next year. I dont want to have to do anything but oil and tire changes during the riding season. That being said, I think cold storage has its advantages. When I lived in Fairbanks there were many people who stored bikes outside. Put a full charge on the battery, throw a tarp over the bike and walk away. It is not uncommon for the temperature to stay below zero for several weeks at a time and below freezing for months at a time. We had one stretch of 40 days in which the high temperature was -22 degrees. The cold seems to put the bike in a state of suspended animation and a well charged battery will do just fine at temperatures well below-60. [/QUOTE]
