No issue at all. I do it all the time. What can it hurt? just water. I run my engine for a few minutes to get any water out of the exhaust that may have made it in so it dont rust out sooner.


its better than leaving it muddy/dirty

 

I put mine up wet and muddy. We rode all day today and got home in enough time to grab dinner, clean up and get ready for the Walking Dead. LOL They'll still be dirty tomorrow. I'll clean them up after work.

 

Haven't you heard the saying "rode hard and put away wet" ? Pretty sure it is referring to a RZR ...

 

I wash mine and just park it in the garage. I do run the motor for a couple of mins afterwards to get water out of the exhaust

 

I put mine up wet, but I usually put a piece of plastic down so I don't mees up the carpet! Also there's always a clump of mud that fall off after I've cleaned every nook and cranny.

 

well ok then I am not the only one!
I was wondering, since the garage is not heated and does not even have any wall isolated if it could hurt in the long run to let her sit wet all the time if rust or corrosion start to build over time.

 

I usually take the leaf blower to mine after washing. then start it and let it run for a bit but sometimes I just park it wet if I'm running short on time . Not that I'm worried about the water hurting it but I hate all the water spots left on it. Looks much better when blow dried and only takes a few minutes

 

My RZR is kept outside but covered. I want it dry before covering because I worry about the harnesses being wet and possibly developing rot, and just the residual moisture getting into the electronics causing corrosion. Maybe I worry too much since my other vehicles are always outside with no noticeable problems, but I do see noticeable damage to tie down straps when left outside and have had replace them sooner than I wanted.

 

I don't wash mine until I can let it set out to dry. Mainly cause I don't want all the water in my shop floor. If your just worried about the machine its self then just point a fan at it in the garage.

 

It'll dry eventually...
If you're leaving it sit for a longer time you should do the standard stuff of putting Sta-bil in your fuel; etc...

My RZR sits in either in my trailer or in my un-heated garage area out at work.
I do try to stop by it every so often and start it up just to keep it charged and stuff.

The bad part with mine is that if it's in the trailer I don't have any power to keep the battery charged. I'm working on getting a solar tender hooked up.

Oh; and I rarely wash my RZR unless it has been through a lot of shallow water/mud areas or if I'm going to be working on it.

 

I usually take mine for a short, quick blast up the road to get rid of excess moisture then put it away. Seems to be fine

 

Side Note: I was just up in PEI last week. 1st time there; I'll be back again. That's a nice place...

 

Only issue I could see is if it where freezing cold,

 

I'm in a freezing cold place and like I said my garage is not heated. What issue will it cause?

 

throttle cable freeze up

 

unless it's minus 50 degrees out side - welcome to CANADA EH !

 

That might be true but why In the hell would anyone wash their RZR if its that cold.. We stop washing vehicles when the temp drops below probably 50f much less 50 below....

 

The water could freeze creating sharp points and if you try to drive it the ice could damage rubber like seals, axle boots, and etc.. If you don't try to drive it everything should be fine.. Although water could get in tight crevice's and freeze, if it does it could bust/brake something.. I lost a mirror early in the year due to this, I had a rear view mirror and I guess when I washed the bike a small amount of water got in behind the glass so when it froze the mirror shattered..

 

interresting.....

I do not wash it in the winter, but at this time of year it's snowy/wet/muddy in the trails and one day it can be above freezing point, but the next it can be below.
