Storing Your Pit Bike
SERVICE MAINTENANCE,
LUBRICATION AND
ADJUSTMENTS (cont.)
If you won’t be riding your bike for an extended pe-
riod, such as during the winter, thoroughly inspect
your bike and correct any problems before storing
it. That way, needed repairs won’t be forgotten,
and it will be easier to put your motorcycle back in
service come riding season.
We suggest you perform the following procedures
to keep your motorcycle in top condition.
These storage procedures will reduce the deteriora-
tion that can occur during storage.
Preparation for Storage
1. Change the engine oil.
2. Be absolutely certain that the fuel petcock is in
the “OFF” position.
3. Drain the carburetor into an approved gasoline
container and dispose of it in an approved
manner or pour into the fuel tank.
4. Fill the fuel tank and make certain that the cap is
properly tted and completely closed. If the
bike is going to be stored for more than one
month, drain the carburetor. This will help assure
the bike performs well when it’s time to ride
again.
WARNING! Gasoline is highly ammable and
explosive. You can be burned or seriously
injured when handing fuel. Stop the engine
and keep heat, sparks and ame away. Do not
handle fuel indoors. Wipe up any spills immedi-
ately.
