STORAGE Fuel Stabilizer 1. Using a mixture of fuel and the recommended amount of VICTORY Premium Carbon Clean Plus or other gasoline stabilizer, fill the fuel tank only to the top of the filler insert. 2. Start and run the engine for 15 minutes in a well ventilated area to pass the stabilized fuel through entire fuel-injection system. Engine Component Protection 1. Change the engine oil (see page 87). You don't need to replace the oil filter at this time, but you must replace the oil filter when you remove the motorcycle from storage. Caution Carbon deposits, normally suspended in engine oil that is in service, settle on internal engine components during storage. Settled carbon deposits can cause engine damage. 2. Using pressurized air, blow any debris from the area around each spark plug. WARNING Wear face protection when using pressurized air. 3. Remove the spark plugs (see page 121). Pour one tablespoon of clean motor oil into each spark plug hole. 4. Connect the spark plugs to the spark plug wires and ground the spark plugs to the engine. With the main switch in the ON position, the stop/run switch set to RUN, and the transmission in neutral, press the electric starter button to crank the engine a few times. This procedure inhibits corrosion by coating the cylinder walls with the oil you poured in the spark plug holes. 5. Set the main switch to the OFF position and reinstall the spark plugs. 142
