Winterized Motorcycles.. useless wast of money

[Willyamaha]

Just park it after the last ride , check tires.. cover motorcycle.. Don’t even use fuel stabilizer.. Leave it,
If you like, trickle charge battery, start bike every three months. That’s it.
In 60 years of riding never had a problem.
A friend gave me a Suzuki Burgman that was sitting in under ground garage for 6 years.
No oil change or fuel stabilizer. The tires needed a little air and a new battery.
It started right off.. I drove it for 150 miles on the same gas .. no problems.
JUST park it. Don’t waist fuel line stabilizer.. it’s been diluted anyways at twice the price
Air in tires. Leave the gas in. DUST COVER. MAYBE MOVE THE TIRES ONCE.
Change oil once a year and oil filter ever two years unless you are riding 15 thousand miles or more.

Winterizing one's bike is part of the grieving process associated with the end of the riding season.

That's my winterization technique, except for the 15,000 miles / 24,000 kms between oil changes.

Been doing that way for years. Just park it, ride it when I can. Change the oil when it's due, not for "winterization".
Last few years haven't even put the battery on tender.
