Non Use Maintenance - Bajaj Pulsar N160 Owner's Manual

Non-use maintenance is necessary if a vehicle remains off road for
a longer duration (more than 15 days**). The correct and careful
non-use maintenance carried out before storing the vehicle will
prevent the vehicle from rusting and from such other non-
operational damages like fire hazards.
• Clean the entire vehicle thoroughly.
• Empty the fuel from the fuel tank and (if fuel is left in for a longer
time, the fuel will break and gummy substance could clog the
carburettor).
• Remove spark plug & put several drops of Engine oil into the
cylinder. Crank engine over slowly a few times to coat cylinder
wall with oil & install back spark plug.
• Set the vehicle on a box or a stand so that both wheels are
raised off the ground.
• Spray oil on all unpainted metal surfaces to prevent rusting.
Avoid getting oil on rubber parts or brake liners.
• Cover entire vehicle neatly. Make sure that storage area is well
ventilated & free from any source of flames or spark.
• Fill 10% excess air pressure in both wheels.
• Do not apply oil on front brake disc, to prevent rusting. If the
front brake disc rusts during storage, do not attempt to clean
it with soap water. The rust will go off automatically during first
few application of brake.
