Storage Procedures
For storing your motorcycle for longer periods of over
a month and above, we recommend to carry out the
following steps:
• Clean the motorcycle. Park the vehicle on centre
stand (if applicable) or in auxiliary stand (refer
page 192).
• Warm-up the engine and drain the engine oil.
• Empty the fuel tank.
• Remove the spark plug and feed in several drop
of engine oil through the spark plug hole. Crank
the engine few times and reinstall the spark plug.
• Disconnect and remove the battery. Store it away
from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures.
• Place a suitable support at the bottom of the
frame so that both the tyres are off the ground.
This will ensure the better tyre life.
• Protect the vehicle with the suitable cover and
store the vehicle inside a garage or similar area to
avoid damage due to dust and rain.
• Make sure that the storage area is well ventilated
and free from any source of flame or spark.
Do not park the vehicle on a slope or soft ground or else
it may fall.
During storage the battery must be checked and if
required recharged atleast once in a month.
