Oregon freeze risk for motorcycles

Oregon freezes in short spells: Medford has about 63.9 freezing nights but only 1.0 days that stay below 32°F, and those overnight freezes are what crack a motorcycle that was not drained.

Winterizing a motorcycle before the Oregon freeze

  1. Fill and stabilize the tank; drain carburetor bowls on older bikes.
  2. Change oil and filter warm; test coolant on liquid-cooled engines.
  3. Lube the chain, cables and pivots.
  4. Lift the bike on a stand and keep the battery on a maintainer.
  5. Plug the exhaust and airbox; use a breathable cover.
  6. Book move-in before October 22.
