@TruewoC I've ridden a bicycle to work, 11 miles, in -25*F weather. I've just started on the motorcycle and so far only gotten down to about 20*F but that wasn't too bad and I've bought heated gloves since then. Looking forward to some colder rides, they're fun.
The biggest problem sub zero F is that you have to start being careful about exposed skin. At -15 you can't allow ANY skin to be exposed, even a little ribbon, or you'll have a little ribbon of frost nip.
Great video! In Wisconsin you've got snow, salt, and cage drivers who typically don't expect to need to look for motorcyclists in the winter months. I do most of what's shown in the video in a particular sequence. 1. Wash 2. Towel dry as much as possible 3. Take it for about a 10 minute ride to dry out the rest with wind speed and engine/exhaust heat 4. Lube the chain while still slightly warm after getting back home. 5. Wax (unless it was done recently before storage) 6. Change the oil (doesn't have to be same day as 1 thru 5) 7. Pre-measure a little bottle of STABIL for the fuel. 8. Ride to the nearest gas station, dump the STABIL in, and top off with fuel just below the cap ring. (Most places have 91 w/o ethanol by me) 9. Ride back home to get the STABIL worked through the system and circulate the new oil. 10. Take the battery out (hooked up to a Battery Tender) 11. Cover. 12. Call insurance to put the bike into "storage" for the winter to not have to pay for coverage I don't need for the next six months until summer.
@@BFH8 We use a different measurements system for octane. Our 91 is Europe's 100. I swear to God, there are so many Europeans that look down upon America and our people. Most times it is you guys who are wholely ignorant of the full context of the differences between us.
When the weather permits, you should also put warm gear on and take your motorcycle for a 5 mile ride. This circulates all the fluids and exercises all the parts.
sennsir_ Do you hear that? That's the sound of a million middle fingers pointing your way haha. Here in Indiana our winters usually suck, but the saying here is if you don't like the weather wait a day or two and it will do totally different. Generally mother nature will give us a day or two over the winter where the temps are decent, but generally followed by snow squalls and - 20 degrees haha.
tomtomed1 I know the feeling mate. Insurance is fucking stupid for my car, so I just use the bike during the week. ACF-50 to keep the Salt off and you’re good to go
Sam Kent I'm was thinking about a car, because you can buy a battered old car with decent mechanical condition fairly cheap, but even on £200 car with a black box it's still over £1000 to insure!
Get a family member to insure their car through Admiral Multi-car insurance then add a second car on and also you as a second driver on the policy. You should be fine then.
Given how cold it gets in the UK that's not too bad. I remember having to ride my bike to work in the middle of a Wisconsin winter when my car broke down. Definitely not something a sane person would do voluntarily.
Dude…. I have been riding for a long time and I wanted to say… I love watching your videos… you are so informative and I feel you know what you are talking about….!!! Thanks for all the great tips and information….!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Soren H I have a set of studded tires I made that I use to use when I lived in Idaho. Worked great, but on dry road you have to be a little more careful. Because the studs reduced traction on dry roads.
Excellent advice as always, I’ve been doing this to my motorcycles every winter here in Ohio. I use Seafoam in my carbureted bike and Gumout tune up for my injected bike. I leave a float charger on all my bikes when not in use, even my lawn tractor which gets the same treatment
Be sure to be run the engine long enough to get the gas preserver to the carbs. If no shed is available, saving wood can make one possible. Thanks for the tip on covering the exhaust. Will do. I've never did that, but have had rodents store their lunch in my jeep exhaust, two times. The rattle takes a long time to burn away.
not really. for one ryanf9 said you shouldn't use waterproof bike cover since its good at blocking moisture, it could also trap it inside which could lead to problems on the bike. he also stated that you shouldn't leave the battery inside a warm environment since it could cause it to leak.
@Zach Smith re tyres: I think it's still beneficial if you have a centre stand or paddock stands. Ryan did say to pump the tyres right up so he does acknowledge that it's not great for the tyres to just sit there.
@Jnm1220 re cover: I think Ari went +1 step by explaining what to do if you're storing your bike outside, I think Ryan was taking the garage angle. re battery: Better to trickle charge it indoors then just leave it outside in the bike for months.
I live in Chicago n don't have a garage so my bike spends it winter on my back deck...I put my bike on stands n shrink plastic wrap my whole bike like u would storage food in your freezer...I add a bike cover n tarp for added protection from Chicago snow... When Winter is over unwrap, pop in a fresh battery n I'm good...starts right up, n no rust
Ich hab eine Suzuki Bandit 1200 von 2001. Hab das teil noch nie Winterfest gemacht und sie springt immer wieder an. Selbst als sie für acht Jahre beim vorbesitzer stand hab ich nur den Vergaser Ultraschall reinigen lassen und einen ölwechsel gemacht.
Thanks for the video! I ride a couple of motor scooters and store them outside under covers in the winter. The tip about changing the oil in the fall was especially helpful.
You forgot knobby tires for snow & ice and one hell of an insurance policy (or damn good spiked boots and skill to ride on slippery surfaces). Good luck. 👍
Jesus it's called winterize, not suicide - I don't have a problem with below 0 temperatures in Holland (just rinse off the bike after because of road salt) but if there's snow, there's no way I'm going out on two wheels except the bicycle.
No such thing as to cold for a scandinavian! Still riding my bike to work as long as there's no ice on the road. And a couple of spiked tyres fixes that as well. We even have a guy where i work that drove a scooter through 35 cm of snow last year 😂. But jokes aside really great of you to think about us northeners!
Watching from Minnesota. Lool winter here is like -30 to -50, I wonder if my first bike will survive this coming winter. Well man, thabks for this videos, i dont know anything about motorcycles, but i will do my best to do this stuff. Thanks!
I'm in Southern California and I have 5 motorcycles., I kept my bikes full of gas with a little bit of seafoam in the gas tank. If I don't ride my bikes for weeks I open my garage and start all of them at the same time, after they got up to normal temperature I rev them just a little bit. Works for me and so far no issues. I don't know if it will work like in the east coast in winter time. Forgot to mention my neighbor next door probably hates me 😃
I also start my motorcycle once a week and let it warm up until the fan kicks on and off a few times. When I do that, i move it a few feet each time to avoid flat spots on the tires.
Been riding a storing bikes form 40 years. All you need to do is add stabilizer to a full gas tank and remove the battery and store it indoors (not on a concrete floor). That’s it. I’ve never had a problem in four decades. Some people just want to make themselves appear to be important by overwhelming you with information you don’t need.
There’s a Airport right next to me that sells 100LL aviation fuel at $4 a gallon. I fill it up and leave that in there if I’m not riding it for a while. That stuff lasts 3-4 times longer than regular fuel, plus no ethanol. Also the lead is actually good for the fuel pump and it provides upper cylinder and valve lubrication. Even though my bike isn’t super high compression it runs really good on aviation fuel. I think it’s because the fuel is made to a much higher standard than regular pump gas. You can get a lot of water in regular pump gas where with aviation fuel any water could cause a crash. Also it’s 1/3 the price of VP or Sunoco race gas
Up in the PacNW we get the occasional sunny day in the winter, and the bike comes out! I figure I get at least 2-3 rides a month in the worst of weather.
I always used to put an oily rag in the end of the exhaust, plastic traps any moisture inside the exhaust so a mild day can cause condensation to form....
Tbh, I have never heard about fuel stabilizers and I've never used them. Just filled up the tank and left it like that - and never had any issues whatsoever.
I've enjoyed all these videos, and have a request for one more. How about reviewing motorcycle trailers that can be pulled by a car that's only rated to tow 1000 lbs? For the record, my speed triple weights 460 lbs., so the weight of the trailer itself would have to be 540 or less.
You should put the stabilizer in first then fill the tank with gas afterwards, then run the engine for a 30 secs then shut her down for the winter... I also like to pull the plugs, anti seize and spray seafoam into the spark plug, just a smatter not filling it up.. replace the spark plugs or change them out for new so you are ready to go. I used to live in Alaska and thats 9 months of parking it. Battery Tender and a nice ironclad bike cover. And thats storing it in the heated garage. Also leaving dirty Oil in the bike is worse than leaving fuel in it.. New fuels today dont do that gummy thing from the 70s and 80s. its alaska, just put 91 or better in the tank filled before you store it... One note completely remove any fuel that has methanol in it, you will freeze your gas lines as it has water in the fuel... Learned that driving thru the Alcan and just my gas cans had blocks of ice at the bottom...
if you really love your bike, just start it once a week, and let it run for 20 to 30 minutes. so no need for a smart trickle charger. yes prop the tires off the groundz don’t inflate the tires but let some air OUT to keep all the pressure off the rubber all winter. do not completely deflate. the rubber will require enough air to keep its shape. gas treatment is always a good idea. i had an ATV for years and never had a problem because it ran all year around a few time a month. that’s says it all.
Under armor base layer helps when riding in the cold, I’ve rode in 30F doing 80 MPH with the wind chill it’s about 7F it feels great when you step off and can’t feel your nuts LOL
Good tips, but luckily I live in California, so the winter doesn't affect my that much I looked at some other comments, people can really be mean and idiotic Keep spreading the good word on how to ride safe and maintaining your bike, along with other important information, even though you haven't even considered doing the video I requested on how to do a complete motor oil change on a Suzuki Boulevard M109R, but I'll still keep watching Later and have a good one
Too damn cold out to ride?? NOOOOOO!!! Not even here on Long Island. As long as there isn't snow on the ground, .. put a sweater on it a full face helmet and ride on!
Hell i live in Texas its freezes here in the winter i ride still. Rain suit wind dont go thru rubber helps keep ya warmer. 32 degrees and 70 mph sub zero riding. 4 years riding every day no car or truck owned only my bikes.
If your running premium fuel it more than likely has no ethenal. Will state at the pump. Tip: run premium in your lawnmower last couple of cuts. And store with a full tank and stabalizer as your bike.
In my country we do exactly the opposite to this. We store them in the summer and ride them in the winter. Because its a desert out here. (Saudi Arabia)
I dreamt last night that I lived in California and could lane split. It was incredible. Bless that state.
bruh trust me its not worth living in California, im trying to get out asap
Dodging the homeless, human feces and needles, plus paying 10x what everything is worth, won't be worth lane splitting.
Lol lane splitting over all the other bs that state is...
No such thing as too cold.... just too icy
@TruewoC just put spike tyres in it ;)

Yeah and it does the bike some good as well
How to drain the tank? Go for a ride
drain fuel injectors and you burnt them...they rely on fuel keeping them cool.
Push it that last bit of the way home. :)

The videos on this channel are awesome. Short, practical, informative and no BS.
If its dry, I ride...
Tiny Review - No heavy winds, I ride
Summer riders be like...
More like, If it's not snowing, I ride.
If it's cold, I'm not so bold.
If you live in Montreal , you can't ride -.-
Great video, thank you for dividing into essentials and secondary priority. Winterizing can get overwhelming with all the different tasks recommended.
Dude…. I have been riding for a long time
and I wanted to say… I love watching your videos… you are so informative and I feel you know what you are talking about….!!! Thanks for all the great tips and information….!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Well, I winterized my bikes by emigrating to Thailand about 18 years ago..... No side effects so far... ;-)
I just did the same. Lol. What part of Thailand are you?

This year is the first time i am driving through the whole winter. So no need to Winterize. I am quite exciting how it will work till spring :D

HAHAHAHAHA "Winterize your bike"... I sir, have a BMW F650 dualsport... I ride all year long! LOVE THAT SHIRT! Love yo face!
You should put the stabilizer in first then fill the tank with gas afterwards, then run the engine for a 30 secs then shut her down for the winter...

Great video, guys! Big thanks from Holland.
I've already done most of these, thanks a bunch!
if you really love your bike, just start it once a week, and let it run for 20 to 30 minutes. so no need for a smart trickle charger.
yes prop the tires off the groundz
don’t inflate the tires but let some air OUT to keep all the pressure off the rubber all winter.
do not completely deflate.
the rubber will require enough air to keep its shape.
gas treatment is always a good idea.
i had an ATV for years and never had a problem because it ran all year around a few time a month.
that’s says it all.
I don’t even have a bike but the organisation in this video is like asmr for engineers
I feel for y'all that have to park for the winter. One of a few good things about louisiana is year round riding.
Never had flat spots on my tires. Don't think thats a problem with today's tires. Just over inflate them a little.
I never understood people who say its too cold to ride. Here in jersey it can go down to -5F and im out there still🐙
Collin Mac + Isnt Joizy where the Press On Regardless used to be run? 50 miles in February, regardless. I'd have to stop for a few coffees.
Commenter Five i just picked up heated gear. If im doing a few hundred mile trip, ill stop every 40mi
Snowmobile gear works the best. I've ridden in -25f and with snowmobile gear it doesn't bother you.
I feel for you guys in the US.
Nice, that’s the bike I have. Great fun bike
Informative one 👍. Thank you 😊
I live in Phoenix, and I find this hilarious.
Awesome info. Now all I need is a bike!
No mention of checking coolant? Testing for freezing point then either flushing or topping it off.
Well i live in Finland and i drive trough the winter every year its just so fun because its so slippery
I got the gear to ride in rain...but prefer to use the car to avoid accidents. That's some of the thing I do, other are new. Thanks.
i just cannot underline enough how much of a lifesaver a gas stabilizer is. In particular if it sits for more than half a year
Even if a bike sat for 6 months, the fuel would be just fine.
Sucks so bad to have that much snow here in quebec😥 more sad to know Im gonna have to do those steps on my bike in a few weeks

Hey Ari , good video , any chance of a video on how to winterize you bike IF your riding it through the winter ?
Have you guys ever considered doing an episode of "On Two Wheels" about electric motorcycles?
good thing that I only have to wory about the bike not stalling in winter and to not fall again

I've had the rodent nest in air box happen, back when I didn't know what I was doing...cover those openings!
can you do a video about gear? what to look for when buying gear and whats best during winter and summer
Love your videos and how to's bro, keep them coming!
If your running premium fuel it more than likely has no ethenal.
Will state at the pump.
Tip: run premium in your lawnmower last couple of cuts.
And store with a full tank and stabalizer as your bike.
No paddock stands or center stand? Use a couple pieces of old carpet to keep the wheels off the cement.
