Storing the Motorcycle
For storage longer than 60 days, store the motorcycle as outlined below:
 Drain the fuel from the fuel tank, the fuel lines, and the carburetor. Close the fuel tank cap.
 Remove the spark plug and add 5cc of motor oil into the cylinder. Reinstall the spark plug. With
the ignition switch in the OFF position, cycle the engine several times with the kick starter.
 Remove the battery, charge it, and store it in a cool and dry environment.
 Support the motorcycle on blocks to prevent tire damage.
 Cover the motorcycle to protect it from dust, moisture, and other contaminants.
 Add fuel stabilizer to the fuel to prevent gumming in the tank, the carburetor, or the fuel lines.
 After storage, charge and reinstall the battery. Add fuel. Replace the engine oil if the
motorcycle has been in storage longer than 6 months.
For shorter storage intervals, we recommend attaching the motorcycle to a Battery Tender.
