Winter Riding Tips and Maintenance Essentials

Riding in cold, snowy conditions is thrilling but requires some special care to keep your bike running strong. Here are tips to help you enjoy your winter rides and maintain your bike and snow kit properly:

  • Battery Care: Cold weather saps battery performance. Keep your battery warm before rides, store it indoors, and charge it at room temperature. Expect a reduced range, but plan accordingly by adjusting speed and load.
  • Track and Sled Checks: Before every ride, inspect your tracks and sled for snow buildup or ice. Clear out debris and ensure your shock absorbers are functioning to avoid rough rides or damage.
  • Lubrication: Snow and ice can cause moving parts to seize. Use a winter-grade lubricant on moving joints to prevent rust and ensure smooth motion.
  • Dry After Riding: Always dry your bike and kit thoroughly after riding in wet, snowy conditions to prevent corrosion.
  • Tire Removal: Once the snow kit is installed, remove your regular tires carefully and store them in a dry place for the offseason.
  • Electrical Connections: Check connectors for moisture and clean them periodically. Moisture or salt can compromise electrical systems, so keep them dry.
  • Dress Right: While not bike maintenance, dressing in layers with waterproof gear is essential. Heated gloves and boots can make long winter rides comfortable.
