STORAGE PROCEDURES
For storage of your motorcycle for longer period of over a
month and above, we recommend to carry out the following
steps:
1. Clean the vehicle thoroughly. Park the vehicle on centre
stand.
2. Warm up the engine and drain engine cum
transmission oil. Store the oil, if new, in a dust free
container.
3. Empty the fuel tank. Turn the fuel cock lever to ‘OFF’
position.
4. Drain the petrol from carburettor.
5. Remove the spark plug and feed in several drops of
engine cum transmission oil through spark plug hole.
Crank the engine few times and reinstall the spark plug.
6. Remove the battery, store it away from direct sunlight
and freezing temperatures.
7. Place a suitable support at the bottom of the frame so
that both the tyres are off the ground. This will ensure
better tyre life.
8. Cover up the vehicle completely with a clean tarpaulin
or any other suitable cover. 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.
