How To Put Sled Away

[Shovelking780]

I just bought a new machine this year and was wondering the best way to put it away for the season? What do you guys do?

Dump some seafoam in the tank and park them in the corner.Grease the skid.

Fuel stabilizer in tank, run for 5 mins, grease skid, and pick track off ground to keep lugs from folding over.

Start it up once a month, let it warm up, hit the gas a few times, and repeat

Yep.Gotta fill the garage with two stroke smoke at least once a month.

It's a sad time we are even talking about putting sleds away.

I wonder if there is an official syndrome for this?

its not that time yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Definitely not that time yet, but when it is, I support track off ground do lugs don't fold, grease, stabilizer, fog engine, tear down clutches and leave apart until fall so springs don't get weak, plug exhaust to keep rodents out. Don't forget a complete once over so you know what if anything to fix for next season.

I usually suck the fuel out but leave enough and mix with some 100LL or 110 plus a bit of seafoam and let it run through. I also grease everything up and dump chaincase oil to eliminate any potential moisture in there. I give everything a good clean before putting to bed.
Probably kind of lame, but I zip tie plastic sleeve wit check sheet I found in a race manual one year and track what has been done and what needs to be done in fall. This way I can't forget.

Unload it. Load the quad.

Good cleaning on whole sled, make list of parts to replace, unload/jack up rear and front suspensions and depressurize shocks, loosen track, stabilize fuel in tank near end of last ride, run sled to burn off any moisture in the pipe insulation (moisture from washing) and engine bay, then drain as much fuel as possible, polish and grease everything and then use Fluid Film on any other exposed parts/nuts/bolts. Take covers off clutches, take belt off. Take all sandwiches and food from storage bags/back of seat/muffpot - LOL! Buy parts and replace anything needs replacing.

Roll engine over by hand a few times every month. No need to start it if you've got stabilizer in it.

If it's brand new the owners manual should have a proper way to store it in there. But usually I fill the tank and put stabilizer in it and the put it on the sled lift as I usually tinker with it over the summer.
