My poor little Vino is sitting in the driveway as we speak, and I just shoveled her out of drifting snow. It sounds like you did all the right things last year and everything worked out great! Says me: keep doing what you're doing. Mine was out in the driveway most of last winter (I did tuck her away in a neighbor's garage, but there's no room this year.) and she was fit as a fiddle when I got her going. When in doubt, call Tom at Riverside Motorsports. He's the guru of the service department (617.628.6400) and I trust him to tell me what is really necessary. Warmly, A

Hi Ladies,
I own a Yamaha Vino and was wondering about best practices for storing
her over the winter. The owner's manual includes a section on
"long-term" storage, which lists a number of recommendations "before
storing your scooter for several months..."
These include things like:
- Drain the carberatur float chamber...
- Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel stabalizer...
- Other steps to protect and cylinder, piston rings, etc. from
corrosion...
And other things that I don't really have a clue how to do.
Last winter I just tucked her in the garage for a few months, then
brought her out in April and she started fine. Later in the season I
got a tune up and experienced no problems.
Any advice?
Big thanks,
-Deb
