Info
If you plan to garage the motorcycle for a longer period, perform the following steps or have them performed.
Before storing the motorcycle, check all parts for function and wear. If service, repairs, or replacements are neces-
sary, you should do this during the storage period (less workshop overload). In this way, you can avoid long work-
shop waiting times at the start of the new season.

Info
Do not use non-porous materials since they prevent humid-
ity from escaping, thus causing corrosion.
Avoid running the engine for a short time only. Because the
engine will not warm up sufficiently, the water vapor pro-
duced during combustion will condense, causing engine
parts and the exhaust system to rust.
