Preparation for Storage
To prepare the motorcycle for storage,
do the following:
Clean and dry the entire vehicle
▼
thoroughly.
Fill the fuel tank with the correct
▼
grade of unleaded fuel and add a
fuel stabilizer (if available), following
the fuel stabilizer manufacturer's
instructions.
Warning
Gasoline is extremely
and can be explosive under certain
conditions.
Turn the ignition switch off. Do not
smoke.
Make sure the area is well ventilated
and free from any source of flame or
sparks; this includes any appliance
with a pilot light.
Remove the spark plug from each
▼
cylinder and put several drops
(0.17 fl oz / 5 cc) of engine oil into
each cylinder. Cover the spark plug
holes with a piece of cloth or rag.
With the engine stop switch in the
RUN position, push the starter
button for a 2 - 3 seconds to coat
the cylinder walls with oil. Install the
spark plugs, tightening to 9 lbf ft
(9 lbf ft (12 Nm)).
Change the engine oil and filter (see

Check and if necessary correct the
▼
tire pressures (see the relevant
Specification section).
