If the motorcycle is not being used for an extended length of time, additional measures are recommended.
Before storing the motorcycle, check all parts for function and wear. If service, repairs, or replacements are neces-
sary, you should do this during the storage period (less workshop overload). This allows you to avoid long waiting
periods when the next season starts.

Info
Do not use non-porous materials since they prevent humid-

Avoid running the engine for a short time only. Because the
engine will not warm up sufficiently, the water vapor pro-
duced during combustion will condense, causing engine
parts and the exhaust system to rust.
