21 STORAGE
310
–
Store the vehicle in a dry location that is not subject to large
fluctuations in temperature.
–
Cover the motorcycle with a tarp or cover that is permeable to
air.
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 the exhaust system to rust.
