Deptrans announced the closure of the motorcycle season in Moscow

The 2025 motorcycle season in Moscow is officially closed. The Metropolitan Department of Transport announced this in its Telegram channel on October 14.

Deputy Mayor for Transport Maxim Liksutov urged motorcyclists to refrain from riding a motorcycle until next season, as traction is getting worse due to humidity and wet leaves, and to prepare vehicles for storage.

The department advised motorcyclists to wash and dry their equipment, protect it from corrosion (apply silicone spray to metal parts), plug the exhaust pipe, remove the battery and store it indoors, as well as reduce tire pressure, treat the transmission chain, install the motorcycle on the running board and cover it with a cover.
