Storing a bike outside

[Maccapacca]

My garage is soon to become a man cave so I will lose the storage for my Funduro, I have a decent chain and padlock and anchor also have an oxford cover, anything else I should look into, it's going to be out all year and I don't ride it much.

Any protection I can spray on to keep it in reasonable condition?

It's only worth a grand so I'm not into mega protection but I would like it not to rust and corrode to pieces and to start when I need it.

Thanks

WD40 it once every few weeks is all you need. if you have chrome you can put Vaseline on it.

Get some ACF50 on it, one coat lasts months, there are places that will do it professionally too.

I used to use GT85 but recently got a bottle of Scottoiler 365 time will tell if its any better.

Smells nice when the engine is hot!

+1 for ACF50.

I have to leave my bike outside all year round, I put a good coat of this on every month and I've never had any major problems with rust.
