Should I store my Yamaha over winter, and does that affect servicing?
Practical advice from QBS Powersports in Maldon.
If you're not riding through winter, proper storage matters. Fuel stabiliser, a trickle charger, and keeping it somewhere dry all help. Bikes that have sat unused often need a bit more attention when they come back in for a spring service, so it's worth mentioning to QBS Powersports that it's been stored, rather than just booking a standard check.

If you are weighing up store my Yamaha over winter, and does that affect servicing, the right call depends on the detail of your situation. The checklist below covers the things that make the biggest difference.
What to check first

- Can you get easy access to the area that needs work? It affects the time on site and the price.
