cle.
After thoroughly cleaning the vehicle, prepare
for storage as follows:
1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add
the specified amount of Fuel Med Rx,
available from your Yamaha dealer, or
equivalent product. Follow the instruc-
tions on the product label. Operate the
vehicle for at least 5 minutes to distribute
treated fuel through the fuel system.
2. Remove the spark plugs and pour one ta-
blespoon of fresh engine oil into each cyl-
inder and then re-install the spark plugs.
Remove the spark plug wires and ground
them. Operate the electric starter to turn
the engine over several times and coat
the cylinder walls with oil.
3. Lubricate all control cables.
4. Put the frame on stands or blocks to raise
all wheels off the ground.
5. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe
outlet to prevent moisture from entering.
6. If storing in a humid or salt-air atmo-
sphere, coat all exposed metal surfaces
with a light film of oil. Do not apply oil to
any rubber parts or the seat covers.
