Vehicle storage guidelines
For long-term storage of the motorcycle, you should take some
measures before storing it properly so as to prevent the parts from
malfunctioning. Proper repairs & maintenance works as mentioned
below should be carried out before storing it.
1. Change engine oil.
2. Drain the remaining oil in the fuel tank into proper gasoline container.
Then coat the interior of fuel tank with spray-type anti-rust oil, then
reinstall the fuel tank cover.
3. To prevent rust in the cylinders, the following measures should be
done:
- Remove the cap from ignition plug and tie it to a nearby plastic piece
with a tape or string to separate it from the ignition plug.
- Remove the ignition plug from the engine and put it in a safe place.
Do not connect the ignition plug to its cap.
- Pour a tablespoon of clean engine oil into the cylinder and cover
the ignition plug hole with a cloth.
- Start the engine several times to distribute the engine oil to every
corner of the cylinders.
- Reinstall the ignition plug and the plug cap.
4. Remove the battery and put it in a place that avoids freezing & direct
sunlight. Carry out a slow charging process every once a month.
5. Clean and dry the motorcycle, apply wax to all painted surfaces and
apply a thin layer of anti-rust oil to the chromed surface.
6. Apply a layer of lubricating oil to the drive chain.
7. Inflate the tyre to its recommended pressure. After the motorcycle is
parked, lift the wheel with a wooden block to elevate it from the ground.
8. The motorcycle should be parked in a place that is dark but not humid,
with a small difference in temperature variation. Never park it under
direct sunlight and avoid parking it near flammable or spontaneous
combustible materials by all means. (E.g.: Coal, cotton & grains)
Gasoline is extremely flammable under certain circumstances and can
be explosive. Improper drainage of the gasoline may cause burns or
serious injury. Do pay attention to the following guidelines:
1. Always turn off the engine first and keep vehicle away from heat,
sparks or open flames.
2. Oil drainage or refuelling should be performed outdoors and in a well
ventilated place.
3. Spilled gasoline should be wiped away immediately.
If the motorcycle is stored for more than 1 month, drain the
remaining
oil in the carburettor completely to ensure a normal functioning
motorcycle in the future.
