Since I ride year round, and have done it for decades, here are a few Tips I have ended up with over the years......
* Wipe Your Wheels down with WD-40 on a cloth before ridin' on Salted Roads...it will help repel salt damage
* Armour All is good on Seats and Rubber Parts, but They really need to be kept sprayed with Silicone
* Check Your Tire Pressure religiously....Cold Temps will cup a tire that's under-inflated really quickly
* Your Trike will fair better the less times You pull it in and out of a warm place each day. Sitting out all day affects it less than the Temp changes
* Make sure Your Trike was waxed heavily before Winter, and Honda Polish, Plexxus, etc. is Your Winter Friend
* Keep Your Windshield and Lights clean....UV Rays love to attack through Winter grit
* Rinse Your Trike as often as Temps will allow...including underneath
* Keep snaps on Fender Bras, etc. smeared with grease, and remove the accumulated debri from behind them often
* I ride a lot of miles regardless of weather or season, and I change my oil about 1000 miles sooner in Winter...pulling in and out of Garages into the cold adds extra condensation
* Let Your engine warm to almost normal operating temp before heading out...also cuts down on unwanted internal engine condensation, and on some Trikes, easier on the Trans
Hope a Few of These Tips help.....Feel Free to add more....."Never Too Much Knowledge"........ThumbUp:wtg:
