•
Empty the fuel system by running the engine at idle speed until all fuel in the fuel
system is used up (If left in for a long time, the fuel will break down and clog the
fuel system).
WARNING
An air/oil mist may be forcibly ejected from the spark plug holes and could
get into your eyes.
Do not lean over the engine when performing this
procedure. If you do get oil in your eyes, wash them immediately with
liberal amounts of clean, fresh water and consult a physician as soon as
possible.
•
Reduce tire pressure by about 20%.
•
Set the motorcycle on a box or stand so that both wheels are raised off the ground.
(If this cannot be done, put boards under the front and rear wheels to keep damp-
ness away from the tire rubber.)
•
Spray oil on all unpainted metal surfaces to prevent rusting. Avoid getting oil on
rubber parts or in the brakes.
•
Lubricate all the cables.
•
Remove the battery, and store it where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight,
moisture, or freezing temperatures.
During storage it should be given a slow
charge (one ampere or less) about once a month. Keep the battery well charged
especially during cold weather.
