B. STORAGE
Long term storage (60 days or more) of
your machine will require some preventive
procedures to guard against deterioration.
After thoroughly cleaning the machine,
prepare for storage as follows:
1. Drain the fuel tank, fuel lines and car-
buretor float bowls.
2. Remove the spark plugs, pour about
one tablespoon of SAE 10W30 or
20W40 motor oil in the spark plug
holes and reinstall the spark plugs.
Ground the spark plug wires and turn
the engine over several times to coat
the cylinder walls with oil.
3. Clean the drive chain thoroughly and
lubricate it. (See page 8-35 for details.)
Reinstall the chain or store it in a plas-
tic bag tied to frame for safekeeping.
4. Lubricate all control cables.
5. Block up the frame to raise all wheels
off the ground.
6. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe
outlet to prevent moisture from enter-
ing.
7. If storing in a humid or salt-air atmos-
phere, coat all exposed metal surfaces
with a light film of oil. Do not apply oil
to any rubber parts or the seat cover.
NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before storing
the machine.
