B. STORAGE
Long term storage (60 days or more) of your
machine will require some preventive proce-
dures to guard against deterioration. After thor-
oughly cleaning the machine, prepare for stor-
age as follows:
1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add the
specified amount of Yamaha Fuel
Stabilizer and Conditioner or an equivalent
product.
NOTE:
Use of fuel stabilizer and conditioner eliminates
the need to drain the fuel system. Consult a
Yamaha dealer if the fuel system needs to be
drained instead.
2. Remove the spark plug, pour about one
tablespoon of SAE 10W30 or 20W40
motor oil in the spark plug hole and
reinstall the spark plug. Ground the spark
plug wire and turn the engine over several
times to coat the cylinder wall with oil.
3. Lubricate all control cables.
4. Block up the frame to raise all wheels off
the ground.
5. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe out-
let to prevent moisture from entering.
6. 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 or the seat cover.
7. 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˚C (30˚F) or more than 30˚C (90˚F)).
NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before storing the
machine.
Specified amount:
1 oz of stabilizer to each gallon of fuel
(or 7.5 cc of stabilizer to each liter of fuel)
