I ride through the winter but I stop using the bike mid November.In parts of Canada it is law to install certified snow tires on vehicles (not 4 season tires) because it is fact that tires loose their traction and stopping power at temperatures below 7*celcius (45*farenhite) so us bikers should be aware that our relatively soft bike compounds loose much of their characteristics so be aware Trickel chargers are a good idea for your battery but I just disconnect mine and store it indoors. Clean her up some and you could add a fuel stabilizer to the tank but I have never done that and it always starts easily in the spring (June) and all my previous bikes were Harleys so I don't expect a lick of trouble from my Vic. Welcome to the beginning of the NORTH

I'm no expert but fuel stabilizer is not only to keep the fuel fresh but it prevents varnish from building up in the fuel system including things like injectors. As with everything, too much is as bad as too little so follow the directions if you choose to use it. Personaly I use it in all my gasoline burning equipment. There was a time when we would fog the engine but with fuel stabilizer it is no longer necessary.
