• If exposure to salt is unavoidable,
clean the leather product
immediately after each exposure
using a damp cloth then leave the
leather product to dry naturally at
room temperature.

a damp cloth then leave the leather
product to dry naturally at room
temperature.
• Place the leather product in a fabric
bag or cardboard box to protect

Preparation for Storage
To prepare the motorcycle for storage,
do the following:
• Clean and dry the entire vehicle
thoroughly.
• Fill the fuel tank with the correct
grade of unleaded fuel and add a
fuel stabilizer (if available), following
the fuel stabilizer manufacturer's
instructions.
Warning
Gasoline is extremely flammable
and can be explosive under certain
conditions.
Turn the ignition switch off. Do not
smoke.
Make sure the area is well ventilated
and free from any source of flame or
sparks; this includes any appliance
with a pilot light.
• Remove the spark plug from each
cylinder and put several drops
(0.17 fl oz (5 cc)) of engine oil into
each cylinder. Cover the spark plug
holes with a piece of cloth or rag.
With the engine stop switch in the
RUN position, push the starter
button for a few seconds to coat
the cylinder walls with oil. Install the
spark plugs, tightening to 9 lbf ft
(12 Nm).
• Change the engine oil and filter (see
page 126).
• Check and if necessary correct the
tire pressures (see page 183).
