4. To prevent rusting in the cylinders, perform
the following:
• Remove the spark plug caps from the
spark plugs. Using tape or string, secure
the caps to any convenient plastic body
part so that they are positioned away from
the spark plugs.
• Remove the spark plugs from the engine
and store them in a safe place. Do not
connect the spark plugs to the spark plug
caps.
• Pour a tablespoon (15-20 cm 3 ) of clean
engine oil into each cylinder and cover the
spark plug holes with a piece of cloth.
• Crank the engine several times to
distribute the oil.
• Reinstall the spark plugs and spark plug
caps.
5. Remove the battery. Store in an area
protected from freezing temperatures and
direct sunlight. Slow charge the battery
once a month.

painted surfaces. Coat chrome with rust
inhibiting oil.

other coated materials) and store in an
unheated area, free of dampness with a
minimum of daily temperature variation. Do
not store the motorcycle in direct sunlight.
