If you put your bike away for the winter, a few steps now prevent problems in spring.
Clean and dry
Wash the bike, dry it fully and lubricate the chain.
Fuel
Fill the tank to reduce condensation and consider a fuel stabiliser. Old fuel causes starting problems on bikes that sit for months.
Battery
Connect a battery maintainer, or remove the battery and keep it charged indoors.
Tyres
Inflate to the correct pressures and, if possible, use paddock stands to keep weight off the tyres.
Cover and secure
Use a breathable cover and good security.
Back on the road
