1. Clean Your Bike Thoroughly
Start by giving your bike a comprehensive wash. Remove all dirt, mud, and debris from every nook and cranny. Pay special attention to the chain, sprockets, and undercarriage. A clean bike prevents corrosion and makes it easier to spot any potential issues.
2. Change the Oil & Filter
Old oil can contain contaminants that may damage your engine over time. Drain the old oil and replace it with fresh oil. Don't forget to change the oil filter as well. This step ensures that your engine remains lubricated and 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. Check the Coolant
Ensure that your coolant is at the proper level and has the correct antifreeze mixture. This prevents the coolant from freezing and causing damage to the engine. If necessary, flush the old coolant and replace it with a fresh mixture.
5. Remove & Store the Battery
Disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Use a battery tender to keep it charged over the winter. This prevents the battery from discharging completely and extends its lifespan.
6. 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. This helps maintain their shape and condition.
7. Cover & Store the Bike
Finally, cover your Husqvarna 701 Enduro with a breathable motorcycle cover. Store it in a dry, sheltered location to protect it from the elements. This keeps your bike in pristine condition and ready for the next riding season.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your 2017 Husqvarna 701 Enduro remains in excellent condition throughout the winter months. Proper maintenance and storage are key to preserving the performance and longevity of your bike.
