Picking the right cover
Measure your bike's overall length including accessories such as a windshield, backrest or luggage rack, and choose the size accordingly. A cover should fit snugly enough not to flap in the wind. Indoor use calls for a breathable fabric, while outdoor use needs a water-resistant cover with underbelly straps. Let the bike cool before covering, and make sure the bike is dry to avoid trapping moisture.
If you store the bike for the winter, add a battery tender and take a look at security locks and stands and lifts.
