STORAGE
219
–
Cover the motorcycle with a porous sheet or blanket.
Info
Do not use non-porous materials since they prevent humidity 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 exhaust system to rust.
