1. Clean Your Dirt Bike
Start by thoroughly cleaning your Husqvarna TE125. Remove any dirt, mud, and debris from the bike's surface. Pay special attention to the chain, sprockets, and undercarriage. A clean bike is less likely to suffer from corrosion during storage.
2. Change the Oil & Filter
Before storing your bike, change the oil and replace the oil filter. Old oil can contain contaminants that may damage the engine over time. Fresh oil will help protect the engine components during the winter months.
3. Drain the Fuel System
Fuel can degrade over time, leading to clogged carburetors and fuel lines. Drain the fuel tank and run the engine until it stalls to ensure the carburetor is empty. Consider adding a fuel stabilizer if you plan to store the bike with some fuel in the tank.
4. Remove the Battery
Disconnect and remove the battery from your TE125. Store it in a cool, dry place and consider using a battery maintainer to keep it charged throughout the winter.
5. Check the Coolant
Ensure that the coolant is at the proper level and in good condition. If necessary, replace it with a fresh mixture to prevent freezing and corrosion in the cooling system.
6. Inspect & Lubricate
Inspect all moving parts, including the chain, cables, and pivot points. Lubricate them to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation when you take the bike out of storage.
7. Protect the Tires
Inflate the tires to the recommended pressure and consider placing the bike on a stand to prevent flat spots. If a stand is not available, rotate the tires periodically during storage.
8. Cover & Store
Finally, cover your Husqvarna TE125 with a breathable cover to protect it from dust and moisture. Store the bike in a dry, sheltered location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your 2014 Husqvarna TE125 remains in excellent condition throughout the winter months. Proper maintenance and storage will help extend the life of your dirt bike and keep it ready for your next adventure.
