Storing Your Vehicle
If you won't be riding for an extended period,
follow these guidelines:
● Wash your vehicle.
● Drain the coolant.
● Lubricate the drive chain.
● Place your vehicle on an optional workstand
or equivalent to raise both tyres off the
ground.
● Relieve the fuel pressure and drain the fuel
from the fuel tank into an approved petrol
container.
● Remove the battery (2 P. 52) to prevent
discharge. Fully charge the battery and then
place it in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
u If you leave the battery in place,
disconnect the negative - terminal to
prevent discharge.
● Stuff a rag into the muffler outlet. Then, tie a
plastic bag over the end of the muffler to
prevent moisture from entering.
● Store your vehicle in an unheated area, free
of dampness, away from sunlight, with a
minimum of daily temperature variation.
● Cover your vehicle with a porous material.
Avoid using plastic or similar non-breathing,
coated materials that restrict air flow and
allow heat and moisture to accumulate.
