MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE

7-3

7

Avoid using abrasive polishing
compounds as they will wear
away the paint.

NOTE:

Consult a Yamaha dealer for advice on
what products to use.

EAU26230

Storage 

Short-term

Always store your motorcycle in a cool,
dry place and, if necessary, protect it
against dust with a porous cover.

CAUTION:

ECA10810

Storing the motorcycle in a
poorly ventilated room or cover-
ing it with a tarp, while it is still
wet, will allow water and humid-
ity to seep in and cause rust.

To prevent corrosion, avoid
damp cellars, stables (because
of the presence of ammonia)
and areas where strong chemi-
cals are stored.

Long-term

Before storing your motorcycle for sev-
eral months:

1. Follow all the instructions in the

“Care” section of this chapter.

2. For motorcycles equipped with a

fuel cock that has an “OFF” posi-
tion: Turn the fuel cock lever to
“OFF”.

3. Drain the carburetor float cham-

bers by loosening the drain bolts;
this will prevent fuel deposits from
building up. Pour the drained fuel
into the fuel tank.

4. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel

stabilizer (if available) to prevent
the fuel tank from rusting and the
fuel from deteriorating.

5. Perform the following steps to pro-

tect the cylinders, piston rings, etc.
from corrosion.

a. Remove the spark plug caps

and spark plugs.

b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil

into each spark plug bore.

c. Install the spark plug caps onto

the spark plugs, and then place
the spark plugs on the cylinder
head so that the electrodes are
grounded. (This will limit spark-
ing during the next step.)

d. Turn the engine over several

times with the starter. (This will
coat the cylinder walls with oil.)

e. Remove the spark plug caps

from the spark plugs, and then
install the spark plugs and the
spark plug caps.
