Suggestions for putting your motorcycle in storage

During this time of year many people will be putting their motorcycle in storage. I was hoping someone could provide some steps or suggestions of what needs to be done when storing your motorcycle. So far, I was informed that once your bike is in storage, your fuel eventually becomes stale and begins to build up varnish. This is not something you want to happen while in storage. So my friend told me that I should pour fuel additives inside my gas tank to prevent this from happening. I never even thought of doing this. Does anyone else do this? Are there any other things I need to do when putting my motorcycle in storage?

When I put my motorcycle in storage, I realize that my motorcycle battery will eventually go dead since it is not being driven on a regular basis. To prevent this from happening I always take the battery out of the motorcycle and attach a battery charger to the battery so it can recharge the battery when it is low and shut off when it is fully charged. This saves you time and money of purchasing a new battery when your bike is out from storage.

Another thing I do is cover my motorcycle when it’s in storage. This will protect my bike from any scratches or damages. In addition, the temperature of the storage unit can get cold in the winter time. A cold storage unit might cause the paint on your bike to crack so keeping a thick blanket over it will save guard the paint or any other feature of the bike from getting damaged.
