1. Clean Your Dirt Bike
Start by thoroughly cleaning your Husqvarna TE125. Remove any dirt, mud, and debris from the frame, wheels, and undercarriage. A clean bike prevents corrosion and makes it easier to spot any potential issues that need attention.
2. 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.
3. Change the Oil
Old oil can contain contaminants that may damage the engine if left over the winter. Change the oil and replace the oil filter to keep the engine components well-lubricated and protected.
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 months.
5. Protect the Tires
Inflate the tires to the recommended pressure to prevent flat spots. If possible, elevate the bike on a stand to take the weight off the tires entirely.
6. Lubricate Moving Parts
Apply lubricant to the chain, cables, and pivot points to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation when you take the bike out of storage.
7. Cover and Store
Finally, cover your Husqvarna TE125 with a breathable cover to protect it from dust and moisture. Store the bike in a dry, temperature-controlled environment to prevent damage from the elements.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your 2016 Husqvarna TE125 remains in excellent condition throughout the winter. Proper maintenance and storage will extend the life of your dirt bike and keep it ready for your next adventure.
