Storing The Motorcycle; Important Notes - Ducati MULTISTRADA 1200 ENDURO Owner's Manual

Storing the motorcycle

If the motorcycle is to be left unridden over long
periods, you should perform the following
procedures before storing it away:
- clean the motorcycle;
- empty the fuel tank;
- pour a few drops of engine oil into the cylinders
through the spark plug seats, then crank the
engine by hand a few times so a protective film
of oil will spread on cylinder inner walls;
- place the motorcycle on a service stand;
- disconnect and remove the battery.
Battery should be checked and charged (or replaced,
as required) whenever the motorcycle has been left
unridden for over a month.
Protect the motorcycle with a suitable canvas. This
will protect paintwork and prevent retaining
condensate.
The canvas is available from Ducati Performance.

Important notes

Laws in some countries (France, Germany, Great
Britain, Switzerland, etc.) set certain noise and
pollution standards.
