Storing the motorcycle

operations before storing it away:
- clean the motorcycle;
- empty the fuel tank;
- pour a few drops of engine oil into the cylinders
through the spark plug seats, then crank the
engine by hand a few times so a protective film
of oil will spread on cylinder inner walls;
- place the motorcycle on a service stand;
- disconnect and remove the

as required) whenever the motorcycle has been
unridden for over a month.
Protect the motorcycle with a suitable canvas. This

out.
The canvas is available from Ducati
