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. Empty the fuel tank into an approved
petrol container using a commercially
available hand siphon or an equivalent
method. Spray the inside of the tank with
an aerosol rust-inhibiting oil.
Reinstall the fuel fill cap on the tank.
