Scooter Winter Storage

[krylon80]

Hey all,

So I wanted to make sure that I took the necessary steps to prepare my '09 Zuma 50 for it's winter hibernation. Is there anything special I need to do prior to storage? During storage? After storage? This is my first winter with the scoot.

As for storage itself, indoor storage is not an option, so I've chosen a space that is outside, but sheltered (like a car port, see attached picture). The scoot will be about 10 ft into a hallway of sorts. At the end of this hallway is an area that's more open, but also covered. The scoot itself will have an all-weather cover on it (as in the photo). Does this seem fine for a few months?

And finally, I know people with larger motorcycles remove their batteries and have them setup indoors connected to trickle chargers. Is this necessary with a scoot battery?

Thanks!
