21.1 Storage
Info
If the motorcycle is not being used for an extended length of time, additional measures are recommended.
Before storing the motorcycle, check all parts for function and wear. If service, repairs, or replacements
are necessary, you should do this during the storage period (less workshop overload). This allows you to
avoid long waiting periods when the next season starts.
