Cold Weather Comming

[5084Jr]

It's predicted to get down into the single digits for the first time this winter. What should be done to make sure the quad will be ok? I put stay bill in the tank and ran it threw, did an oil change, and got it in a closed place. Anything out of the ordinary that I should do?
Thanks

The only thing I do is take out the key and leave it in neutral lol. You should be all set.

no need for stabil really...just crank it up...turn the gas off and let it run til it goes dead...that way there is no gas in the carb....unless you are gonna store it for a really long time....like several months....but here in bama it's freezing one week and hot the next...lol...like last week it was in the 60s and this week it's in the 30s...makes no sense...lmao...so i just wait til it gets warm again before i ride which is like a week or two....unless it snows or something which it hasn't done here in a long time

[5084Jr]

Must be nice its 10 degrees here without the windchill and we didnt even have a delay.

[Snipe]

7 degree's here windchill is -13. High is suppose to be 13 for the high lol sick of the cold.

What sucks is here one day it will be neg 4 and the next it will be +50

If you dont like the weather in missouri just wait awhile it will change.

take the battery out and bring it inside. mine is in an unused closet at the moment.

[rodeo#11]

yep just take the battery out cause cold weather likes to drain them sometimes... well thats how mine is and make sure there is no gas in it, you dont want gas sitting in the tank, lines, or carb all winter cause it can go bad and thats just going to ruin your motor. And its best when you do ride it again do another oil change and check everything over.

here in minnesota too. im out by the south dakota border in the middle of nowhere for work. the car barely started this morning i could barely move my shifter around in the gearbox the tranny was so cold and thick. windchill was like -40 last night and there are huge drifts here covering houses!

WOW that is pretty crazy cold!! and drifts covering houses that is alot of snow!!! I wish it would snow down here in NC. it has been awhile since we had a good snow not to mention it would be fun to ride in!

[5084Jr]

The windchill this morning on the way to school was -15 i think. The temp gauge on my car was going back and forth from 2 degrees and 1. All I can say I cant WAIT til spring!!

For the car get yourself a heating block and plug that sucker up at night.

LOL! Yes, it has been very warm here. It is common that we get this kind of weather for a few weeks in January. Next month we'll be back down in the 60's with rains.

I could never handle the winters up North. Too many months to be inside.

i don't stay inside.. i layer up with underwear.. and layers of clothes.. gel feet warmers, boots, facemask.. ect... and im good to go. Once you start riding, you build up heat. i stay pretty warm. I find riding in all 4 seasons is a great experience out in the woods.. especially fall. but winder is fun too.. with the snow drifts and stuff.

I could get used to the heat tho...

I had wool socks on and heavy coat and glove I'll tell you the wool sock actually kept my feet warm I could feel my feet for the first time in the winter. My face was numb earlier in the snow.
