4. Once all dirt has been cleaned off, the surfaces should be washed warm water and mild detergent
soap. Difficult areas to access can be washed with a bottle-brush or similar.
5. Rinse immediately with cold water and dry all surfaces.
6. Clean the seat with a vinyl upholstery cleaner to conserve it both lustrous and flexible.
7. Once all cleaning operations have been completed, start the engine and allow it to tick over for a few
minutes. This will completely dry off all the components and, at the same time, leave all connections free
from moisture.
STORAGE Long-time storage of the motorbike requires certain precautions against deteriora-
tion. Once the machine has been thoroughly cleaned it can be readied for storage as follows:
1. Drain all fuel from the tank, piping and carburettor.
2. Lubricate all control cables.
3. Remove the sparkplug and pour one spoonful of CASTROL SAE 20W-50 into the hole then replace the
sparkplug.
4. Seal the exhaust-pipe with a plastic bag to prevent the entry of moisture.
5. remove the battery and charge it at least once a month. Be careful not to store the battery in a place
which is either too hot or too cold.
