	We have two sleds in our main garage, 3 in the shop for work( mine I could take out but the Argos in the main garage). The only time they aren't sitting outside is when it's winter with snow on the ground(which they are covered). 02 ZL 500(apv) 91 jag afs 440 "if it snowed in the summer, I'd ride!"

	I stored the Polaris inside the first year I had it, last year. This year, we got an ATV adn thats in the garage now. So now the Poo is on the 2 place trailer sharing space with the two Cats. They're under a tarp but if it was up to me they'd be in the garage, We just dont have enough room. Nothing has happend yet, but the wasps like the hoods of the old sleds, went through a can of WD-40 killing the f***ers.

You go inside, assuming this is a heated area (garage, shop etc..) the snow melts, forming water (amazing really), water causes rust/corrosion. lets say you keep the same snowmobile, after the same ride outside, chances are the snow will stay frozen, therefore, it won't become water and has a lesser chance of rusting Now, assuming that the space where you store your snowmobile is un-heated, it would still be at the same temperature, just out of the elements, (wind/snow). But, isnt a snowmobile made to handle high winds, and be ridden on snow? how many times have you gone smowmobiling and got caught in a blizzard and it scuffed your paint, or something?

	Quote originally posted by srx_600 We have to keep ours outside, the last few years i had a tarp over them but that tarp went to crap so now i just have the covers on them, but they seem to shed water good for the most part. I would like them inside for next year so the covers still keep the ability to shed water. I would go out and get more tarps!! They are much cheaper to replace than your cover. I kept my old Indy out in the yard on the east side of my house. Thought the sun would not be as bad on that side. Was I wrong!! My black cover turned grey in two years and developed rips when travelling. I am now a firm believer that the sun is far worse for my toys than rain and wind. I don't even leave my boat out in the sun when not in use. I made room in the barn. It is so tight in there, I have to cut another door in so that I can use more of the "wasted" space.

	hhhmmm i keep my sleds where ever i can 2 in the trailor and 1 in the shed and in the winter we switch the quads at our camp for the sleds and then they keep the sleds spots warm. And my dads friend keeps his all summer long at our camp. Hes lucky i gues but my second sled was a indy 340 in it was pink because it was faded from the sun. 06 polaris fusion 600 h.o 02 polaris 550 fan FOR SALE!!!! 87 yamaha bravo dads sled= 05 polaris 900 moms sled= 04 polaris xcsp 600 moms atv=polaris sportsman 500 dads atc= 1986 honda 200s Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	My relatives keep the sleds in the same spot that they parked them after the last ride in the spring. They sit all summer, then fire them up again at the first decent snow. Been doing it for years. They do trade up every year or 2 and trade in value is pretty much nothing anyways. I've kept mine out before. No problems. Just a regular cover, WD-40 the sled, start up a couple times a summer.
