Geordie Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Hi all, I recently bought my fantastic mid life crisis BMW F650GS and would like some advise on storing it for the winter, fluids, cleaning ect. It will be stored in an older garage, not heated but pretty dry. Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Hi and welcome to the forum I have always stored my bikes over the winter and the only thing I have ever done is wash it before it goes away and put the battery on a maintenance charger I would be tempted to fill the tank with super unleaded though so its not got E10 in it to try and minimise any risk of moisture in the fuel but thats all I would be doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_M Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I may be laying my bike up for a couple of months - the first time I’ve ever done so. I’ll be following This advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie man Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) My winter regime consists of ACF50 then - Ride - Rinse - Dry Otherwise as above linked advice. Edited October 10, 2021 by Pie man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
