Why Keeping Your Bike In Storage Can Increase It's Lifespan!
Motorcycle and scooter enthusiasts know that their bikes are more than just modes of transportation—they're investments, hobbies, and sometimes even friends. At Alien Motorsports, located at 55 Pond Street, Unit 3A, Waltham, MA, we understand the importance of preserving these prized possessions. Proper storage, especially during harsh weather, is crucial for maintaining the longevity and performance of your motorcycle or scooter. Here’s why storing your bike with us can significantly increase its lifespan.
Protecting Against the Elements
Just as you wouldn’t want to be left out in the cold, neither does your bike. Exposure to harsh weather conditions can wreak havoc on your motorcycle or scooter. Here's how:
Preventing Rust and Corrosion
Moisture is a bike’s worst enemy. Rust can form on metal parts, compromising both the bike’s structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. By storing your bike in a controlled environment, you protect it from rain, snow, and humidity, significantly reducing the risk of rust and corrosion.
Shielding from Grime and Dirt
Dirt and grime can degrade the paint and finish on your bike. Over time, this buildup can lead to permanent damage, making your bike look old and worn out. Our storage solutions at Alien Motorsports include a thorough cleaning to ensure your bike remains in pristine condition.
Maintaining Engine Health
A bike’s engine is its heart, and it requires special care, especially during periods of inactivity. Here’s how proper storage helps:
Old Oil Corrosion Prevention
Leaving old oil in the engine can lead to corrosion and damage. Before storing your bike, we replace the old oil with fresh, clean oil to ensure the internal components remain well-lubricated and protected from corrosion.
Battery Maintenance
Batteries can degrade over time, especially if left idle. At Alien Motorsports, we offer trickle charging services to keep your battery in top shape. Trickle charging prevents the battery from discharging completely, which can cause permanent damage. By keeping your battery charged, your bike will be ready to hit the road as soon as the weather permits.
Comprehensive Winter Care
Storing your bike during the winter months is crucial for its longevity. Here’s what our comprehensive winter care package includes:
Soothing Shower
We’ll give your bike a thorough cleaning before storage. Removing dirt, grime, and road salt prevents damage to the paint and finish.
Cozy and Warm Storage Environment
Our storage facilities are designed to keep your bike in a stable environment, free from the damaging effects of fluctuating temperatures and humidity.
Regular Inspections
Even in storage, we conduct regular inspections to ensure your bike remains in optimal condition. We check for any signs of damage or wear and address them promptly.
Ready for Spring
One of the biggest advantages of storing your bike at Alien Motorsports is that it will be road-ready when you are. By properly maintaining your bike during storage, we ensure that it’s in perfect condition when spring arrives. You won’t have to worry about delayed rides due to maintenance issues—we’ve got it covered.
