Tips - Honda 2007 INTERCEPTOR VFR800 Owner's Manual

4. To prevent rusting in the cylinders,
perform the following:
Remove the ignition coil connectors
and ignition coils from the spark
plugs. Using tape or string, secure the
connectors 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 ignition coils to
the ignition coil connectors.
Pour a tablespoon (15 20 cc) of
clean engine oil into each cylinder
and cover the spark plug holes with a
piece of cloth.
With the engine stop switch in the
RUN position, press the start button
several times to crank the engine and
distribute the oil.
Storing Your Honda
Reinstall the spark plugs, ignition
coils and ignition coil connectors.
5. Remove the battery and charge it fully.
Store it in an area protected from
freezing temperatures and direct
sunlight. Slow charge the battery (page
166 ) once a month.
6. Wash and dry your motorcycle. Wax all
painted surfaces (except matte painted
surfaces). Apply rust-inhibiting oil to
the chrome pieces.
