HOW TO STORE A MOTORCYCLE WITH SEA FOAM

STORING A MOTORCYCLE PROPERLY

Proper storage of a motorcycle over the winter months is a must. Without it, lots of problems, such as fuel deterioration, corrosion, lubrication and moisture issues can wreak havoc on your bike — creating unwanted frustrations and expenses next year.

Fortunately, Sea Foam makes motorcycle storage easy. At a minimum, all you need is one can of Sea Foam Motor Treatment.

And if you want to go the extra mile, you can also pick up a can of Sea Foam Spray.

fuel system during storage

Sea Foam Motor Treatment in the fuel tank works to prevent the formation of gum and varnish and adds protective lubricity to the entire fuel system during seasonal storage. Sea Foam Motor Treatment is made from 100% petroleum ingredients and will never harm your engine. In fact, the more you add, the better it cleans.

If you want extra protection during the winter months, grab a can of Sea Foam Spray to fog the intake and lubricate cylinder cavities. This will protect intake areas and cylinders from corrosion and long-term wear.

how to store a motorcycle

three easy steps

stabilize tank fuel

Add at least 1 oz of Sea Foam per gallon in the tank. For best results, run the tank down until there’s about a gallon of fuel left, and add an entire 16 oz can of Sea Foam Motor Treatment to the tank.

Run the engine long enough for the treatment to work through the entire fuel system (about 5-10 minutes of idling).

From there, you can either store your bike with the fuel tank partially empty or full. Sea Foam will stabilize your fuel for up to two years.

fog/lubricate gasoline intakes

With the engine running, insert Sea Foam Spray straw (cut if needed) into intake throat (carburetor) or directly before throttle plate opening (fuel injection).

Spray a series of 3 to 5 bursts, then a final direct stream while shutting off the engine.

lubricate cylinders

After fogging the intake, allow engine to cool and remove spark plugs.

Insert Deep Creep (or Sea Foam Spray) straw, and spray each cylinder cavity.

Before re-inserting spark plugs, crank engine to rotate pistons.

How sea foam motor treatment protects your motorcycle during storage

Fuel issues are the #1 cause of engine problems after seasonal storage.
All winter, Sea Foam will work to prevent gum and varnish formation and protect critical engine areas from corrosion. But before you take your motorcycle out for your first ride in the spring, let the engine idle for about 15 minutes to completely burn off the fuel residues.

Poor motorcycle storage practices can ruin your ride. Degraded fuel can damage your engine – possibly breaking your budget (and your heart). Safeguard your spring and summer riding season with Sea Foam Motor Treatment and Sea Foam Spray.
