STORAGE GUIDE
Extended storage, such as for winter, requires
that you take certain steps to reduce the effects of
deterioration from non-use of the motorcycle. In
addition, necessary repairs should be made BEFORE
storing the motorcycle; otherwise, these repairs may
be forgotten by the time the motorcycle is removed
from storage.
Storage
1. Change the engine oil and filter.
2. Empty the fuel tank into an approved petrol
container using a commercially available hand
siphon or an equivalent method. Spray the inside
of the tank with an aerosol rust-inhibiting oil.
Reinstall the fuel fill cap on the tank.
To assure proper performance after storage lasting
more than one month, it is important to drain the
carburetor.
