TIME TO WINTERIZE?
After you are done riding for the season, drop off your bike (no appointment necessary) and Shumate will perform a 20 point safety inspection, winterize the bike and give it a thorough wash. After the service, we will deliver your bike to you ready for winter storage. While we have your bike, we will check for any safety or product bulletins and any other warranty items that might be required. Don't forget our 20/20 Sale is on through December 31st.

Top 10 Common Winter Storage Mistakes
1. IGNORING YOUR BATTERY. Batteries will discharge naturally over time. Most newer bikes have a milliamp draw from the ECM, radio, regulator and security system that can draw a battery dead in a short period of time. A battery tender will combat these drains and provide you with a longer battery life.

2. STORING ON SOME TYPES OF CONCRETE FLOORS. Concrete floors poured without a vapor barrier under them will allow moisture from the ground to penetrate the concrete and produce a situation similar to parking your bike on a dirt floor.

3. USING WRONG TYPE OF COVER. A non-breathable cover can trap moisture and cause corrosion.

4. PUTTING YOUR BIKE AWAY EVEN SIGHTLY DIRTY. Brake dust is an irritant to metal and contains iron bits that trap moisture and cause rust.

5. HAVING ELECTRIC MOTORS RUNNING CLOSE TO YOUR MOTORCYCLE. Electric motors create ozone that can cause dry rot on your tires.

6. KEEPING POOL CHEMICALS IN THE SAME BUILDING AS YOUR BIKE. Pool chemicals and even their vapors can be very corrosive to your motorcycle finish.

7. STORING YOUR BIKE IN AN AREA ACCESSIBLE TO RODENTS. Mice and squirrels love to nest under the seat and in the fairings of your motorcycle. They can cause extensive damage in a short period of time.

8. PARKING YOUR CAR IN THE SAME AREA AS YOUR BIKE. Your vehicle carries salt and moisture in and out of your garage and can cause corrosion in a hurry.

9. KEEPING YOUR BIKE IN A BUILDING THAT HEATS AND COOLS WITH THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE. Any temperature change will cause condensation on your motorcycle. This can be very prevalent in the late fall and spring when outside temperatures greatly fluctuate.

10. STARTING YOUR BIKE A COUPLE TIMES A MONTH. Starting your bike will draw the battery down more than it will charge in a short run cycle. Putting heat in your engine in a cold climate will also cause condensation inside and outside of your engine.
