Cleaning and Storage Battery Care 1. Remove the battery. See page 74. 2. Clean oxidation from battery posts and cable connectors with a wire brush. Wash the posts and cable connectors with a solution of one part baking soda to 16 parts water. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry. Apply a thin film of dielectric grease to the posts and cable connectors. 3. Clean the outside of the battery with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. 4. Store the battery in a dry area with a temperature of 32° to 90° F (0° to 32° C). 5. While in storage, fully charge the battery monthly. If the motorcycle will not be used for a period of six months or longer, a maintenance charger should be connected to the battery. See page 74. Motorcycle Covers Cover the motorcycle with a genuine VICTORY motorcycle cover or a cover made from a durable, breathable material designed for storage. The cover must be of a breathable material to prevent moisture build-up, which can cause oxidation of metal surfaces. Protection from Rodents If the motorcycle will be stored in an area where mice are a concern (rural areas, barns, sheds, etc.), take extra measures to deter infestation. This may include placing a screen mesh over any intake or exhaust openings. 84
