STORAGE
177
–
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 exhaust system to rust.
