STORAGE GUIDE

Extended storage, such as for winter,
requires that you take certain steps to reduce
the effects of deterioration from non-use of
the motorcycle.
In addition, necessary repairs should be
made BEFORE storing the motorcycle;
otherwise, these repairs may be forgotten by
the time the motorcycle is removed from
storage.
<STORAGE>
1. Change the engine oil and filter.
2. Empty the fuel tank into an approved
gasoline container using a commercially
available hand siphon or an equivalent
method.
3. If storage will last more than one month,
carburetor draining is very important, to
assure proper performance after storage.

CAUTION
Gasoline is extremely flammable and
●
is explosive under certain conditions.
Perform this operation in a well-
ventilated area with the engine
stopped. Do not smoke or allow
flames or sparks in the area where
gasoline is drained or stored and
where the fuel tank is refueled.
4. Remove the battery. Store in an area
protected from freezing temperatures and
direct sunlight. Slow charge the battery
once a month.
5. Wash and dry the motorcycle. Wax all
painted surfaces.
6. Inflate the tires to their recommended
pressures. Place the motorcycle on
blocks to raise both tires off the ground.
7. Cover the motorcycle (don't use plastic
or other coated materials) and store in an
unheated area, free of dampness with a
minimum of daily temperature variation.
Do not store the motorcycle in direct
sunlight.
<REMOVAL FROM STORAGE>
1. Uncover and clean the motorcycle.
2. Change the engine oil if more than 4
months have passed since the start of
storage.
3. Charge the battery as required. Install the
battery.
4. Perform all Self Inspections Before
Operation checks (page 19).
Test ride the motorcycle at low speeds in
a safe riding area away from traffic.
