Storing Your Honda
Tips
Remove the battery and charge it fully. Store it in an area protected
from freezing temperatures and direct sunlight. Slow charge the
battery (page
) once a month.
Wash and dry your ATV. Wax all painted surfaces.
Inflate the tyres to their recommended pressures (page
).
Store your ATV in an unheated area, free of dampness, away from
sunlight, with a minimum of daily temperature variation.
Place your ATV on blocks to lift all tyres off the floor.
Cover your ATV with a porous material. Avoid using plastic or
similar non-breathing, coated materials that restrict air flow and allow
heat and moisture to accumulate.
