Maintaining Your Motorcycle Without A Garage

Maintaining a motorcycle that is parked outside of a garage will take some additional steps to assure the same life and health of the vehicle.
This may include more frequent washing, covering the bike, the parking area and other factors.
We have compiled this list of things to take into consideration when parking a motorcycle outside: 1.
For vehicles parked outside, motorcycle covers must be used in the protection process.
2.
Extra theft protection techniques such as using a club, alarm or motorcycle cover to hide the vehicle from sight are necessary.
3.
For bikes parked outside, more frequent washing is required as more debris will contact the surface.
4.
It is wise to park an outdoor motorcycle on your won property when possible such as in a driveway.
5.
Parking the chopper in a location which avoids things such as rocks kicked up by tires such as in a driveway is recommended.
6.
Better care must be taken with any valuables kept within the bike.
7.
It is important to vehicle is properly secured when parked outside.
8.
Be careful to not park an outdoor vehicle below trees which may drop pollen or telephone pools which may be a perching area for birds.
In the inter ice cycles falling may be another concern.
9.
Cycles parked outside should be waxed more frequently.
If a motorcycle is parked in a garage more modern vehicles can get by with one waxing per year.
When it is outdoors, at least twice is more advisable.
10.
In the winter, many times outdoor vehicles will freeze over.
Ice must be scrapped from windshields if there is one and the bike will require some time to warm up in colder areas.
Some motorcycle's are parked in a garage which is great when possible.
But if the vehicle is parked under a roof but is not driven for a long period of time, covering is still wise as the chances of some kind of interference over a long period of time are great.
So protect that vehicle when it's not in use.
Sun, wind, rain and snow can beat down on a bike.
Additionally, theft is always a concern when a shinny chopper is parked outside - you want people to droll over your bike when you're riding it, not when it's sitting unprotected.
Not to mention passing people or animals can bump against the parked vehicle.
But a cover can prevent day to day scratching or paint damage that may occur on an uncovered vehicle.
Motorcycle owners know the value of their vehicles.
And smart ones do what it takes to maintain and increase that value, keeping their vehicle looking fresh when it's on the road, keeping the seat comfortable and keeping the resale value high.
Motorcycle covers can help reduce the amount of time and effort that goes into keeping a motorcycle looking great while keeping it looking its best and keeping the resale value high.
