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>
●Empty the fuel tank into an approved
gasoline container using a commercially
available hand siphon or an equivalent
method.
●If storage will last more than one month,
carburetor draining is very important, to
assure proper performance after storage.
●Remove the battery. Store in an area
protected from freezing temperatures
and direct sunlight.
Slow charge the battery once a month.
●
W
ash and dry the motorcycle. Wax all
painted surfaces.
●Inflate the tires to their recommended
pressures. Place the motorcycle on
blocks to raise both tires off the ground.
●Cover the motorcycle (don’t use plastic
or other coated materials) and store in
an unheated area, free of dampness with
a minimum of daily temperature
variation. Do not store the motorcycle in
direct sunlight.
<REMOVAL FROM STORAGE>
●Uncover and clean the motorcycle.
●Charge the battery as required. Install
the battery.
●Perform all Self Inspections Before
Operation checks (page 22).
Test ride the motorcycle at low speeds
in a safe riding area away from traffic.

and is explosive under certain
conditions. Perform this operation
in a well-ventilated area with the

and where the fuel tank is refueled.
