How to Winterze Arctic Cat 2007 TRV 650
Hi to all. New to this forum.
2 months ago bought an 07 TRV used while in CO.
I have an unheated covered place to store it for the winter while I'm back at home until next summer.
I went to a local ATV dealer to ask about winterizing , and it sounds like the charge will be about $200 total.
I'm pretty handy and can do minor mechanical tasks and am thinking about doing it myself. The temperature here could get as low as 30 below 0 , so I don't want to risk really having major damage.
Is there a link available on what I should do to this ATV so it can survive the winter undamaged ? I did a search on this forum and came up empty.
Thanks for your help !

I have an '08 650H1 TRV that I use to push snow. It won't sit like you describe but this is how I'd approach "WINTERIZING"
1. drain the oil and add synthetic - AC's ACX is fine. Run the engine
2. add STAYBIL or AC's FUEL STABILIZER to fuel and let machine run for 20min to get it in/thru the engine/carb.
3. make sure your ANTIFREEZE is good to -40°F & leave your cap loose
4. open your airbox and place moth ***** under the filter
(NOW if your storage shed has power - buy a $20 1.5amp battery maintainer & put it on an $10 outdoor Xmas light timer. I would ALSO go as far as to add an AC in-line hose block htr ($50) and plug it into the same timer.)
5. If you DON'T have pwr - pull the battery! - it will Freeze - AND the 30amp accessory fuse.
6. I'd jack up the machine on blocks - gets pressure off suspention
7. COVER the machine - but wrap the seat in a seperate garbage bag w/moth *****
That should do it. Just remember to:
1. bring your battery back with ya
2. pull the moth ***** outta the air box
3. put the rad cap back on before you ride it!
Good luck!
