Removal From Storage

1. Remove the cover and unlock the front
forks (if locked).
2. Verify that tire pressure is at
specification.
3. Install the battery and perform an
electrical inspection.
4. Check the oil level. If the motorcycle
was stored in an area subject to wide
swings in temperature and humidity
(such as outdoors), change the engine
oil before starting the engine.
NOTICE: During storage, temperature and
humidity changes can cause
condensation to form in the crankcase
and mix with engine oil. Running the
engine with oil that contains
condensation can cause engine
damage.
