Storage - EBR 1190RS 2013 Owner's Manual

STORAGE

Proper storage is important for the trouble-free op-
eration of your motorcycle. See your Owner's Manu-
al for storage recommendations or see an EBR deal-
er. Improper storage procedures can lead to equip-
ment damage.
If the motorcycle will not be operated for several
months, such as during the winter season, follow the
procedure below. Proper storage preparation will protect
parts against corrosion, preserve the battery, and prevent
the build-up of gum and varnish in the fuel system. Im-
proper storage may adversely affect the warranty. See
WARRANTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES, Warranty
and Service Information section for more information.
NOTE
List everything you do and fasten it to a handlebar.
When you take the motorcycle out of storage, this list
will be your reference/checklist to get your motorcycle
in operating condition.
120
Do not store motorcycle with gasoline in the tank
within the home or garage where open flames, pilot
lights, sparks, or electric motors are present. Gaso-
line is extremely flammable and highly explosive,
which could result in death or serious injury.
Placing Motorcycle in Storage
If motorcycle is to be covered, use a material such as
light canvas that will breathe. Plastic materials that
do not breathe promote the formation of condensa-
tion which can damage the finish of a motorcycle.
1. Warm motorcycle to operating temperature. Change
oil and turn engine over to circulate the new oil.
2. Fill fuel tank and add a gasoline stabilizer. Use one
of the commercially available gasoline stabilizers
and follow the manufacturers instructions.
3. Run engine until gasoline stabilizer has had a
chance to reach fuel injectors.
