Storage
If the Dirt Bike is left unused for an extended period
of time proper storage maintenance is required.
1. Wash Dirt Bike thoroughly, then wax plastics and
painted parts with a non abrasive auto wax.
Coat vinyl seat and rubber parts with a vinyl/rubber
protectant.
Note: Keep water away from air intake and muffler
outlet while washing to avoid water from entering the
engine and/or components.
2. Drain carburetor by turning fuel valve (1) to the
off position and opening the drain screw (2). Allow
all fuel to drain from the carburetor. Once fuel is
drained, re-tighten drain screw (2).
Note: Make sure to drain fuel in a proper storage
container.
3. Fill fuel tank to full with gasoline mixed with fuel
stabilizer as recommended by the fuel stabilizer
manufacture. Note: Fuel stabilizer can be
purchased at most motorcycle shops and auto parts
stores.
4. Remove spark plug and poor 1 tablespoon of
motor oil in the spark plug hole. Re-install spark
plug.
5. Kick the starter lever approximately 5 times with
the ON/OFF switch in the OFF position. This is to
coat the inside cylinder head with oil.
6. Cover the muffler outlet and air intake with oily
rags so the Dirt Bike will be protected from humidity
in storage.
7. Fill tires with correct air pressure.
8. If possible, store Dirt Bike in a shed or garage
with a cover to protect from dust, dirt and humidity.
If the Dirt Bike must be stored outdoors, cover Dirt
Bike completely with a good waterproof cover.
