1. Clean Your Bike Thoroughly
Start by giving your Husqvarna TE610 a thorough wash. Remove all dirt, mud & debris to prevent corrosion. Pay special attention to the undercarriage and hard-to-reach areas. Once clean, dry the bike completely to avoid moisture-related issues.
2. Change the Oil & Filter
Old oil can contain contaminants that may damage your engine over time. Change the oil & replace the oil filter to ensure your engine is protected during the winter months.
3. Stabilize the Fuel
Add a fuel stabilizer to your gas tank to prevent the fuel from breaking down and causing damage to the fuel system. Run the engine for a few minutes to ensure the stabilizer circulates throughout the system.
4. Remove or Maintain the Battery
If possible, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Alternatively, connect it to a battery maintainer to keep it charged and ready for use.
5. Protect the Tires
Inflate the tires to the recommended pressure to prevent flat spots. If storing the bike for an extended period, consider elevating it on a stand to relieve pressure on the tires.
6. Lubricate Moving Parts
Apply lubricant to the chain, cables, and other moving parts to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation when you take your bike out of storage.
7. Cover Your Bike
Use a breathable cover to protect your Husqvarna TE610 from dust & moisture. Avoid using plastic covers that can trap moisture and cause corrosion.
