Henlo from the other side... Nah, just a "hi" from quite some pause in life... :)
Sadly, the video is about the storage of the bike. Since "season" in Lithuania is only 4 months max - its quite frustrating.
So, in this video i'm talking about the to-do list when storing particularly V85TT and in the same configuration that i have. My tips might not be relevant for your other bike, but i do think i have V85TT covered :)
And small spoiler: got new headers, catback and programing device for the ECU, so will do my best to get some more ponies from the bike for the next summer.
P.S. Miss riding the bike already :(

I have filled up the tank by 100 octane E5 gasoline, removed battery fully charged and stored in warm place, bike completely covered to be dust free when I will take bike out the garage next spring. Of course parked on the central stand.

Hi Kristis. Hello from Toronto Canada, your videos are one of the best content on you tube. Thank you for being thorough and explaining for newbies like myself. I bought my 2021 MOTO guzzi V85tt in May 2023. I am a new rider learning on my 2010 MOTO guzzi v7 classic. Regarding winter storage of my 2021 MOTO guzzi V85tt I should take out my battery and Hook up to battery tender????? Vs leave it in the bike?????? When you completely remove the battery does it reset the bike computer console.????Is that bad if so????? My garage is not climate controlled. Thank you for the awesome videos and for answering my questions.

Thanks! I can only say how i do it :) i have a lithium bat and leave it in the bike with occasional charge when i see it falls bellow 20%. For the bikes with traditional batteries - i remove them and take them indoors. Theres no reset happening with the bike if u remove the bat. So just remove it and take it indoors. Yet what i would suggest is fogging oil. Remove the spark plugs and spray some fogging oil in. This will help avoid any possibility of rust inside the cylinders ;)

You must have very long cold winters…..I only have ever plugged in a trickle charger and that’s it…never had a problem with any bike stored in my garage in the UK …no fuel additives, dehumidifiers, oil changes or covers etc…just roll it out in the spring and it’s fine…defo no rusting or other issues👍

You guys hardly have winter at all... Lucky you :) we have -25 on some days and a ton of rust on roads :(

I hear you about long sad winter. It’s about time to do the same for mine (Lucy the Guzzi). Just wish I had a garage. In your opinion is using a center stand better for long periods without use? Cheers and see you in the Spring.

It is ;) but you would still need to roll the bike for the front tire from time to time. Center stand is another item on my buy list, but im still a bit too afraid of that coil pull procedure :)
