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. Make sure the cooling system is filled with a 50/50 % antifreeze solution.
3. Fill the fuel tank. Make sure the fuel fill cap is properly installed.
4. To prevent rusting in the cylinders, perform the following:
Remove the spark plug caps from the spark plugs. Using tape or string,
secure the caps to any convenient plastic body part so that they are
positioned away from the spark plugs.
Remove the spark plugs from the engine and store them in a safe place.
Do not connect the spark plugs to the spark plug caps.
Pour a tablespoon (15 20 cm ) of clean engine oil into each cylinder and
cover the spark plug holes with a piece of cloth.
Crank the engine several times to distribute the oil.
Reinstall the spark plugs and spark plug caps.
