My wife and I leave the Philippines for 2 to 4 months a year and go back to America. In your opinion should I winterize a PCX 150 before we leave for America?

I fill up the gas tank on my two cars and pull the batteries out and take them inside. It might be a good idea if I plug the exhaust to avoid problems. I learned this on the PCX 150 forum. I change oil as soon as we get back. The one thing I worry about with the cars is mice damaging wires under the hood. So far this has not happened.

Thanks much for your help. Ride safe.

I recommend you to empty the gas tank and then fill it with fresh fuel. Fuel will degrade over time and many guys have problems with starting after a long time (2+ months) and they are able to start after they change the fuel.
Pulling battery out is the right idea and mice...I don't have experience with them eating wires so I don't know ho to protect against them :)

I'd definitely winterize it! The PCX is reliable, but no engine does well with sitting for a long time.
