STORAGE PROCEDURES
For storage of your motorcycle for longer periods of
over a month and above, we recommend to carry out
the following steps:
1. Clean the vehicle thoroughly. Park the vehicle on
centre stand.
2. Warm up the engine and drain engine cum
transmission oil. Store the oil, if new, in a dust
free container.
3. Empty the fuel tank.
4. Remove the spark plug and feed in several drop
of engine cum transmission oil through spark plug
hole. Crank the engine few times and reinstall the
spark plug.
5. Remove the battery, store it away from direct
sunlight and freezing temperatures.
6. Place a suitable support at the bottom of the
frame so that both the tyres are off the ground.
This will ensure better tyre life.
7. Cover up the vehicle completely with a clean
tarpaulin or any other suitable cover. Store the
vehicle inside a garage or similar area to avoid
damage due to dust and rain. Make sure that the
storage area is well ventilated and free from any
source of flame or spark.
