Winterize Your Bike

[franka]

Many different opinions on how to winterize, below is what I do, what do you do and why?
1, Change all three holes, new O-rings, new oil filter and primary cover gasket
2. Full gas tank with stabilizer
3. Wheels off ground

I no longer live in a cold climate but when I did I pulled the battery and kept it on the battery tender in the basement.

Your steps seem prudent + what Jeff said, if in a garage and can be run I would start it up and let it run until warm.

Seafoam in the fuel tank, battery always on the tender (I leave battery in bike) and tires on a piece of soft carpet and cover it up.

I do nothing.
My winter gets to maybe 15 degrees C.
Perfect for riding.
Now Summer- that is a different story.
