Extended storage, such as for winter,
requires that you take certain steps to
reduce the effects of deterioration from
non-use of the motorcycle. In addition,
necessary repairs should be made BEFORE
storing the motorcycle; otherwise, these
repairs may be forgotten by the time the
motorcycle is removed from storage.
Change the engine oil and clean the oil
strainer screen.
If storage will last more than one month,
carburetor draining is very important, to
assure proper performance after storage.
Empty the fuel tank into an approved
petrol container using a commercially
available hand siphon or an equivalent
method. Spray the inside of the tank with
an aerosol rust-inhibiting oil.
Reinstall the fuel fill cap on the tank.
