Default leaving your bike in the snow

right now i leave my motorcycle outside in the rain, because i do not have a garage. would leaving it in the snow be any different? or do you think i should go get a storage unit and leave it in there for when it snows. as long as theres not snow/ice on the ground i plan to keep ridding

If your going to leave outside I would at least get a cover for it. Get the seat warm before you ride, left the CRF150 out in the snow one time & went to hop on it & split the seat because it was well below freezing & snow covered Now that I have a basement for my bikes they stay nice & warm.

I live in an apartment, I also don't have a garage, I've been leaving my bikes out in the rain for 3 years now no issues, while here it doesn't "snow" often it does ice and get below freezing and I have yet to have any issues with my bikes as far as damage, starting troubles or anything else, just be prepared for a very cold butt

Motorcycles left out in the elements will eventually show it. At the very least get a good quality outdoor grade cover. Your bike will thank you for it.

a cover is a must then, along with a heated seat to keep away the cold butt lol.
