STORAGE
Extended storage, such as for winter,
requires that you take certain steps to
reduce the effects of deterioration from
non-use of the motorcycle. In addition,
necessary repairs should be made BEFORE
storing the motorcycle; otherwise, these
repairs may be forgotten by the time the
motorcycle is removed from storage.
I. Change the engine oil and filter.
2. Make sure the cooling system is filled
with a 50/50% antifreeze solution.
3. Drain the fuel tank and carburetors.
Spray the inside of the tank with an
aerosol rust-inhibiting oil.
Reinstall the fuel cap on the tank.
*
Gasoline is flammable and is explosive
under certain conditions. Do not smoke
or aI/ow flames or sparks near the equip-
ment while draining fuel.
4. Remove the spark plugs and pour a
tablespoon (15-20 cc) of clean engine
oil into each cylinder. Operate the
starter for a few seconds to distribute
the oil, then reinstall the spark plugs.
NOTE:
*
When turning the engine over, the
Engine Stop Switch should be OFF and
the spark plugs placed
in
their cable
caps and grounded to prevent damage to
the ignition system.
