Long Periods Of Inactivity - APRILIA SR 50 Uso Y Mantenimiento

LONG PERIODS OF INACTIVITY

Precautions are needed to avoid the adverse
effects of prolonged inactivity.

essary repairs and a general check up be-
fore the period of inactivity, since you could
forget to carry them out later.
Proceed as follows:
Remove the battery (see page 61, RE-
MOVING THE BATTERY, and page 60,
LONG INACTIVITY OF THE BATTERY).
Wash and dry the vehicle, see p. 71

Polish the painted surfaces with wax.
