Long term storage (60 days or more) of your vehicle will require some preventive
procedures to guard against deterioration. After thoroughly cleaning the vehicle,
prepare for storage asfollows:
1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add the specified amount of Fuel Stabilizer and
Conditioner or equivalent product. Operate the vehicle for at least 5 minutes to
distribute treated fuel through the fuelsystem.
2. Drain the fuel from the carburetor float chamber into a clean container by loosening
the drain dolt; this will help prevent fuel deposits from building up. Pour the drained
fuel into the fueltank.
NOTE:
Use of fuel stabilizer and conditioner eliminates the need to drain the fuel system.
Consult a dealer if the fuel system needs to be drainedinstead.
3. Remove the spark plug, pour about one tablespoon of SAE 10W30 or 20W40 motor
oil in the spark plug. Ground the spark plug wire and turn the engine over several
times to coat the cylinder wall withoil.
4. Lubricate all controlcables.
5. Block up the frame to raise all wheels off theground.
6. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe outlet to prevent moisture fromentering.
7. If storing in a humid or salt‐air atmosphere, coat all exposed metal surfaces with a
light film of oil. Do not apply oil to any rubber parts pr the seatcovers.
8. Remove the battery and charge it. Store it in a dry place and recharge it once a month.
Do not store the battery in an excessively warm or cold place (less than 0
