conditions. Therefore, never allow the motorcycle to get close to any fire.
Never park the vehicle in a place storing articles subject to spontaneous
combustion (such as grains, coal, cotton, etc.), because the fire hazard
may happen when the fuel in the vehicle contacts a naked flame.
Tires
Inflate tires to a normal pressure value. Keep the outside of tire
clean. Avoid exposing to sunshine or moisture for a long time. Avoid
contacting acid, alkali and oil to prevent tire corrosion.
Battery
When the vehicle is not used for a long time, remove the battery and
fully recharge it before storing it in a place out of reach of children. Then,
recharge it every month in summer and every two months in winter. If
the battery is installed on the vehicle for a long time, recharge it every
month.
Steps during storage
For conventional battery, check electrolyte level every month. If the
fluid level is low, replenish it with distilled water or pure water to the
highest level mark. (Never use electrolyte or tap water)
Battery shall be kept clean. Corrosion may happen if electrolyte is
splashed to the vehicle body, terminal or wires. In case of corrosion, wash
immediately with water and apply a coat of grease after drying off.
Insufficient power may cause difficulty in engine starting, weak
horn sound and no turn signal lights. Then, immediately recharge the
battery for 15-20 hours. Note that, storing a low battery for a long time
may cause battery damage.
When a battery has whitened plate electrodes, low power or low
fluid level below the lower limit, and cannot restore the performance after
a long time of storage even after recharging, it means the service life has
been terminated.
