Winter storage for pioneer

[Skyking747]

Just curious if it is okay for a sxs to be stored in an enclosed trailer over the winter months. If so, what things should I do for winterizing? I was thinking of disconnecting the battery, filling up with full fuel and stabilizer... anything else?

Thank you!

I have stored my ATV's outside over the winter. Put a little fuel stabilizer and I like to store them with fresh oils if getting close to due. I leave the batteries in and run a battery tender on them. Seems to work well so far. I check them over the winter to be sure the batteries are good and the tires are good incase there's a slow leak in the cold.

Fresh oil if close (don't let it sit over the winter with old, dirty oil), fuel stabilizer, and a battery tender.

What they ☝️☝️☝️ said.
And, if you can not trickle charge it inside the trailer, just take the battery out.
Even unhooking it, sometimes an older battery voltage drops low enough that it will freeze.
A low/dead battery will freeze, a charged battery will not.

Have a good day

That all makes sense... My only concern really is keeping the pioneer in my trailer all winter long @ about 2000 pounds just sitting there for about 5-6 months. Would there be any issue with the tires or even the decking in the trailer? It is a brand new dual axel enclosed.

Travel trailers and toy haulers sit all winter long on their tires ... and you can't unload their built-in contents ...

Just send it down south. I bet you could find someone to ride it all winter for you.

I park mine in the trailer and take the key out....sometimes, not much else. Going on 6 years on the oem battery in the P5

Heat and humidity is worse for your SXS than the cold is.

Yeah, fuel stabilizer and the battery are the only real concerns. A good mix of Sea Foam and fill the tank so you don't get condensation. Run it for 5 or 10 mins to get that stabilizer through the fuel system. As stated, keep the battery charged or take it out and store it in a warm place on a block of wood, not on concrete. That's what I do for the travel trailer batteries.
