Motorcycle care and storage

Storage

Always store the vehicle in a cool, dry
place. If necessary, protect it against
dust with a porous cover. Be sure the
engine and the exhaust system are
cool before covering the vehicle. If the
vehicle often sits for weeks at a time
between uses, the use of a quality fuel
stabilizer (Fuel Med RX) is recommend-
ed after each fill-up.
NOTICE
 Storing the vehicle in a poorly
ventilated room or covering it
with a tarp, while it is still wet,
will allow water and humidity to
seep in and cause rust.
 To prevent corrosion, avoid
damp cellars, stables (because
of the presence of ammonia)
and areas where strong chemi-
cals are stored.
Long term storage
Before storing the vehicle long term (60
days or more):
1. Make all necessary repairs and
perform any outstanding mainte-
nance.
2. Follow all instructions in the Care
section of this chapter.
3. Fill up the fuel tank, adding fuel
stabilizer according to product in-
structions. Run the engine for 5
minutes to distribute treated fuel
through the fuel system.
4. For vehicles equipped with a fuel
cock: Turn the fuel cock lever to
the off position.
