Storing The Motorcycle - Ducati Supersport 950 Owner's Manual

Storing the motorcycle

If the motorcycle is to be left unridden over long
periods, it is advisable to carry out the following
operations 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 the service stand;
●
disconnect and remove the battery.
●
Battery should be checked and charged 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.
