Storing the bike
Storage
If the motorcycle is to be stored for a long period of time, the
following procedure should be followed to ensure that it is stored
correctly.
- Clean the motorcycle as much as possible because dirt
can cause the deterioration of components.
-Turn on the engine for a few minutes to warm up the
transmission fluid and then drain. (see section on draining fluid).
-Fill up with new transmission fluid.
-Empty the fuel tank (petrol degrades over time).
-Lubricate the chain and all wires.
-Apply oil to non-painted metal surfaces to prevent rust.
Avoid putting oil on the brakes and rubber parts.
-Wrap the outside of the exhaust pipe in a plastic bag to
prevent rust.
-Position the motorcycle so that the wheels don’t touch
the ground to prevent possible tyre deformation. If this is not pos-
sible, cardboard can be placed underneath the wheels.
-Place a cover over the motorcycle such as canvas, plas-
tic
or material. This will protect the motorcycle from dust and other
external factors. Avoid storing the motorcycle outside, or in direct
sunlight.
Starting the motorcycle again
To start up the motorcycle after a period of inactivity, the fo-
llowing procedure should be followed:
-Remove the plastic covers that were placed over the
motorcycle before storing, including the exhaust pipe and those
parts that had special protection.
-Tighten the sparkplug.
-Fill up the fuel tank with new petrol.
-Carry out general lubrication.
-Check tyre pressure.
-Leave the engine running for some minutes to warm
up the engine oil.
