STORAGE
•
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-

charge (one ampere or less) about once a month. Keep the battery well charged
especially during cold weather.
•
Tie plastic bags over the mufflers to prevent moisture from entering.
•
Put a cover over the motorcycle to prevent accumulation of dust and dirt.
