Monster S4 Cromo tank
Clean the tank with special (non-abrasive) products for
chromium-plated surfaces at least once a month. This
will keep your tank bright and shiny.
Storing the bike away
If the motorcycle is to be left unridden over long periods,
it is advisable to carry out the following operations before
storing it away:
clean the motorcycle;
empty the fuel tank;
pour a few drops of engine oil into the cylinders through
the spark plug seats, then crank the engine by hand a
few times so a protective film of oil will spread on
cylinder inner walls;
place the motorcycle on the supplied service stand;
disconnect and remove the battery. Battery should be
checked and charged whenever the motorcycle has been
left unridden for over a month;
protect the motorcycle with a suitable canvas available
from Ducati Spare Parts Department. This will protect
paintwork and let condensate breathe out.
