Default Long-term storage

We are unfortunately re-locating, and will not be taking the "toys" with us.

Can someone please advise what procedures we should follow to propare the quads for storage?

(Storage period will be at least 2 years - the facility is temperature and humidity controlled, and the quads will be crated.

Thanks

Julie

The batteries probably wont survive that long, so take them out now, before storage. They could leak and corrode the frames, so have them separate from the quads.
Dont drain the oils, and if its posible change the oils before storage.
Drain the gas tanks, and float bowls on the carbs. Leave then dry.
If its posible, remove the tires so they dont develope flat spots or cracks.
If you really want to get involved, remove the spark plugs and add a few drops of oil down the spark plug hole...spin each motor over, with the spark plug not installed..then install the spark plugs and your done.
