Riding CSC TT250 Through Winter, Any Suggestions On Winterizing?

BitcoinDood · 10-17-2018, 08:39 PM

So I had a blast on the CSC TT250 all summer long and I just can't justify putting it away. I'm thinking about riding it through the winter. I live in Buffalo NY and we get some pretty severe weather during the winter months. Really cold, and lots of snow. Luckily I only work about 10 blocks from my house.

Today was one of the first cold days we had, in the high 30's with sleet and rain. When I went to start the bike, for the first time ever I had a bit of time getting it started. Got me thinking about winterizing it for the coming crappy weather.

I'm still running the stock battery. Is there a better battery for this bike? Would it be worth it to change it? Anyone have any issues with dead batteries in the winter or extreme cold running the stock one?

I'm doing an oil change this weekend, and thinking I'd change out the spark plug too. I'm still running the stock plug. Any suggestions on the best plug for this bike?

I just put some new Shinko tires on too. Hoping they work out good in the snow. Anyone have any other suggestions for winterizing the bike and getting through the winter with as few a problems as possible?
