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 👍

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

Ride it. Often get nice dry sunny days. Wrap up warm and get out and about.

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.

My winter regime consists of ACF50 then - Ride - Rinse - Dry  

 

 

Otherwise as above linked advice.
