Welcome to the new year guys! As we are still in the winter months, I’d like to continue with my post regarding proper hibernation of your bike. I’m going to jump to my Husky section for this article, because that’s what I’m riding nowadays. So, without further adieu!

Exhausts
Collector boxes on standard exhaust systems are usually made from the world’s most corrosive metal. They’re also difficult to repair and expensive to replace. After cleaning the bike (see cleaning), make sure the top of the collector box (usually directly under the engine) is completely dry and coat it with WD-40. This is worth removing the fairing for. Trust me.
