Before storing the motorcycle, check all parts for function and wear. If service, repairs, or replacements are neces-

Raise the motorcycle with a lift stand. ( p. 49)

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. Since the
engine cannot warm up properly, the water vapor produced
during combustion condenses and causes valves and the
exhaust system to rust.
