Tips on Finding the Right Motorcycle Storage

In Miami FL, people are lucky not to experience dreaded winters like those in other states. Those who own motorcycles can attest to the challenge of storing their bikes during this chilly winter. While we cannot control the harshness of this season, you can take extra measures to care for your bike.

During summer, you can easily park your motorcycle outside your home but this is no longer an option if it’s winter time. And if you can’t fit your motorcycle in your garage, what can you do? In Miami FL, you can find a motorcycle storage unit to store your motorcycles in the meantime. When spring comes, your motorcycle will have no problems. How do you go about choosing?

• If you want your motorcycle to be in great condition after the winter, you must look for a motorcycle storage unit with climate control. Make sure that the inside of the storage unit will not be affected by the temperature outside as this can cause problems to your motorcycle.

• Your Miami FL motorcycle storage unit should have a stable temperature and it should be dry. Never pick a storage unit with unstable temperature. It can break your leather seats, fuel lines and rubber gaskets.

• If you already found some motorcycle storage units, the next thing to do is to prepare your fuel tank and gas line. During the winter, your fuel lines can become clogged. You must take your motorcycle to a repair shop and get a gas treatment solution before putting it inside the storage unit. But before doing that, make sure your gas tank is close to empty.

• After taking care of the fuel tank, you must take care of the battery. You see, your motorcycle’s battery will eventually go flat after two weeks of not using the bike. Replacing batteries are not cheap so what you can do is visit the storage unit at least once a week to keep the battery charged or recharge it.

• If you can, invest in a battery maintenance charger if you are going out of town for weeks. Not only will this device charge the battery but it will prevent overcharging as well. Why is overcharging bad? Because the battery cells are damaged which results the cells not being able to hold a charge anymore.

Although the winter in Miami FL is not as horrendous, you will still need to protect your precious motorcycle the best way possible. Find a storage unit and make sure you check up on your motorbike’s battery every week.
