B. STORAGE
Long term storage (60 days or more) of your
machine will require some preventive proce-
dures to guard against deterioration. After
thoroughly cleaning the machine, prepare for
storage as follows:
1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add
the specified amount of Yamaha Fuel
Stabilizer and Conditioner or an equiva-
lent product.
Specified amount:
1 oz of stabilizer to each gallon of fuel
(or 7.5 cc of stabilizer to each liter of fuel)
NOTE:
Use of fuel stabilizer and conditioner elimi-
nates the need to drain the fuel system.
Consult a Yamaha dealer if the fuel system
needs to be drained instead.
2. Remove the spark plug, pour about one
tablespoon of SAE 10W30 or 20W40
motor oil in the spark plug hole and
reinstall the spark plug. Ground the
spark plug wire and turn the engine
over several times to coat the cylinder
wall with oil.
3. Lubricate all control cables.
4. Block up the frame 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 atmos-
phere, coat all exposed metal surfaces
with a light film of oil. Do not apply oil
to any rubber parts or the seat cover.
7. Remove the battery and charge it. Store
it in a dry place and recharge it once a
month. Do not store the battery in an
excessively warm or cold place (less
than 0˚C (30˚F) or more than 30˚C (90˚F)).
NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before storing
the machine.
