Can Motorcycles Be Left Outdoors in Northern Winters?
1 Answers
Motorcycles can be left outdoors in northern winters, but it's best to remove the battery for proper storage and cover the bike with a protective cover. Methods to start a motorcycle that has been parked for a long time: Simply replace the battery with a new one and install new spark plugs. If left unused for an extended period, the battery will lose charge, and the spark plug electrodes may develop issues, preventing the engine from starting. Replacing the battery or charging it, along with installing new spark plugs, will allow the engine to start. Potential damages from prolonged motorcycle storage: Severe cases may lead to internal corrosion of the carburetor and clogging of its fuel supply ports. If the carburetor is severely corroded, it will need to be cleaned or replaced.
