STORAGE PROCEDURE
If the motorcycle is to be left
unused for an extended period of
time for winter storage or any
other reason, the machine needs
special servicing requiring appro-
priate materials, equipment and
skill. For this reason, Suzuki rec-
ommends that you trust this main-
tenance work to your Suzuki
dealer. If you need to service the
machine for storage yourself, fol-
low the general guidelines below.
MOTORCYCLE
Clean the entire motorcycle.
Place the motorcycle on the cen-
ter stand on a firm, flat surface
where it will not fall over. Turn the
handlebars all the way to the left
and lock the steering, and remove
the ignition key.
FUEL
Fill the fuel tank to the top with
fuel mixed with the amount of
gasoline stabilizer recommended
by the stabilizer manufacturer.
BATTERY
1. Remove the battery from the
motorcycle by referring to the
BATTERY section.
2. Clean the outside of the bat-
tery with a mild detergent and
remove any corrosion from the
terminals and wiring harness
connections.
3. Store the battery in a room
above freezing.

Inflate the tires to the normal
specifications.
EXTERNAL

with rust preventative.
