Hi,

I purchased my 1975 R60/6 this past spring. Can I get a checklist or to do list
of what I need to do to properly prepare the "airhead" for winter storage?

Thank you,
Steve

If you can always store inside. Take the battery out or disconnect and keep on a charger. Some people like to drain the gas tank and carbs. But I like to just use gas stabilizer for ethenal (?) gas. i like to keep my bikes somewhat ready to ride in case I have a nice sunny day to ride.
Keep air in the tires. Wash and wax your bike . Change the engine oil and filter. Change the oil in transmission/diff. if it hasnt been done in a while.
