Long-term
Before storing your scooter for several
months:
1. Follow all the instructions in the
«Care» section of this chapter.
2. Drain the carburetor float chamber
by loosening the drain bolt; this will
prevent fuel deposits from building
up. Pour the drained fuel into the
fuel tank.
3. For scooters equipped with a fuel
cock that has an "OFF" position:
Turn the fuel cock lever to "OFF".
4. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel
stabilizer (if available) to prevent
the fuel tank from rusting and the
fuel from deteriorating.
5. Perform the following steps to
protect the cylinder, piston rings,
etc. from corrosion.
a. Remove the spark plug cap and
spark plug.
b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil
into the spark plug bore.
c. Install the spark plug cap onto
the spark plug, and then place the
SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE
spark plug on the cylinder head so
that the electrodes are grounded.
(This will limit sparking during the
next step.)
d. Turn the engine over several
times with the starter. (This will coat
the cylinder wall with oil.)
e. Remove the spark plug cap from
the spark plug, and then install the
spark plug and the spark plug cap.
WARNING
To prevent damage or injury from
sparking, make sure to ground the
spark plug electrodes while turning
the engine over.
6. Lubricate all control cables and the
pivoting points of all levers and
pedals as well as of the sidestand/
centerstand.
7. Check and, if necessary, correct the
tire air pressure, and then lift the
scooter so that both of its wheels
are off the ground. Alternatively,
turn the wheels a little every month
7-4
in order to prevent the tires from
becoming degraded in one spot.
8. Cover the muffler outlet with a plas-
tic bag to prevent moisture from
entering it.
9. Remove the battery and fully
charge it. Store it in a cool, dry place
and charge it once a month. Do not
store the battery in an excessively
cold or warm place (less than 0 C
or more than 30 C). For more in-
formation on storing the battery, see
EWA00003
page 6-26.
NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before
storing the scooter.
