Great stuff!!! :thumbsup: One thing I like to do as well, is to put the bike on blocks. I noticed long periods of sitting cause temporary flat spots in the tires. Very annoying in my book. (Plus it can't hurt to take the weight off the suspention).

I put my motorcycle on it's centerstand anytime it's going to be parked for more than a few days. What is this winter off season stuff? I got a quad so I'd have something to do in the winter during the two months I don't ride my street bike. JK, I understand many members live north of the mason dixon.

Off season...Whats that? I think I ride more in the winter nothing beats doing some plowing and then dropping the plow and heading out for some fun in the snow.

For Fuel stabilizer in your tanks and you dont want to drain anything... Pour some in but don't stop there.... let the quad/bike run for 10/15 min, let it run through the carb so the carb has some in it too, lots of people forget this step and wonder why their machines run rough after keeping stabilizer in just the tank...your carb holds fuel too!

Also if you ride in lots of mud its a good idea to remove your skid plates and clear out the mud/water, if there is enough mud caked in your skid plates it can hold moisture and eventually rust out components and make it difficult to remove hardware, I use anti-seize on skid plate bolts to prevent this.

i winterize my rubicon and rancher by putting them in 4wd and adding plows :D

BINGO! :nod:

didn't know there was an "off" season for atv's :D
