tdod101 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 I know it's only August but we have pretty harsh winters here north of the border, for those of you along the northern states I'm sure you'd agree, just wanna know what y'all do to make sure your banshee starts in the spring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave5.0 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 I usually just turn the gas on and kick it. Just like any other time of year. Sometimes a lil choke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizler00 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 I'm looking forward to riding this winter. I missed having a quad the last 3 winters. Can't say I've ever winterized my bikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdod101 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Hmmm, that's what is like to happen, I've heard all this here-say about fogging oil and BS...opinion ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave5.0 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 I never have. Try go start it once in a while if I don't ride it. Pretty we'll fogs itself. Have run avgas for a long time too. Doesn't varnish like pump gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would make sure to do like others have stated and kick it over maybe once a week or every other week depending on how much you ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebanshee98 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 if you have access to it start it once a week or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jereme6655 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 drain carbs, and I usually put a little oil down each cylinder and slowly roll the motor over. I also use atv lifts to take the weight off the tires and suspension while its put away for the winter. Also I usually change the trans oil for winter storage......not because it helps or anything......usually its a little nicer temp and also it winds up being one last thing you have to deal with when spring rolls around.

mhoksch Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 I live in Wisconsin and I've foind that the best way to make sure it starts in the spring is to ride the shit out of it on the ice all winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87sheerips Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 You don't need to do anything man... Maybe some sta-bil... Just start it and or ride it a few times in the winter like the cheese head mentioned above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n2otoofast4u Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Purge it. Drain carbs. Fill with anti freeze. Ride sled during winter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdod101 Posted August 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 dude winter is the best time to ride! no mud, no dust, not10000 degrees getting monkey butt, never have to worry about engine running hot, SMOOTH ass trails and just a blast... only shit part is the lack of daytime sunlight. on a side note.. if you really want to be safe... drain your gas tank, drop oil in cyls and kick over SLOW a few times. take off carbs rinse with carb cleaner and probably put oil on the slides so they dont gum up.....what ive done... come sprnig.. rinse gas tank out with a bit of fresh fuel to get any condensation and gunk out. take carbs apart re clean and good to go Is that lake simcoe ?

rbalthas Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Mix with stable and run every other week if possible. If not gonna run it then do as they all say, run stable through, drain everything, and add oil. But packed snow is fun as shit to ride on! I'd go with kicking over that bitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
