When is the best time to go to winter storage?
The problem is that for many people, “winter storage” means Thanksgiving to Memorial Day. That’s six months, not three, which pushes that “no worries” philosophy to the limit. Here are my biggest storage concerns this time of year:
Can you keep a motorcycle in winter storage?
Keeping a motorcycle stored for several months (or even years) is completely possible, but that doesn’t mean it’s not hard on the motorcycle. Motorcycles were made to run and be used, so checking certain points of the motorcycle after winter storage will ensure damage isn’t done.
Can a car go bad in winter storage?
All of the problems associated with winter storage can be ameliorated simply by driving a car as often as possible. A three-month slumber is a blip on the radar as long as you keep the battery charged, but the gas can go bad and tires can flat spot if the car sits much longer than that.
When to store a golf cart for the winter?
Fall is a critical time to start preparing the storage of golf cart for the coming winter months ahead. A small amount of cleaning and maintenance is required in order for your cart to survive being locked up in the freezing winter conditions.
Do you have to sit in winter storage?
Let me preface all this by saying that cars really don’t like to sit. All of the problems associated with winter storage can be ameliorated simply by driving a car as often as possible.

Can a carburetor be repaired during winter storage?
Diagnosing carburetor problems is relatively straightforward but problems can be time to consume and/or expensive to repair. If the bike was fitted with a smart charger during storage, the electrical system should be good to go.
