STORAGE
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.
I. Change the engine oil and filter.
2. Make sure the cooling system
is
filled
with a 50/50% antifreeze solution.
l. Drain the fuel tank and carburetors.
Spray the inside of the tank with an
aerosol rust-inhibiting oil.
Reinstall the fuel cap on the tank.
*
Gasoline ;s flammable and is explosive
under certain conditions. Do not smoke
or allow flames or sparks near the
equipment while draining fuel.
4. Remove the spark plugs and pour a
tablespoon (15-20 cc) of clean engine
oil into each cylinder. Operate the
starter for a few seconds to distribute
the oil, then reinstall the spark plugs.
