MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE
1-27
3. Use a chrome polish to shine chrome, alumi-
num and stainless- steel parts, including the
exhaust system. (Even the thermally induced
discoloring of stainless- steel exhaust sys-
tems can be removed through polishing.)
4. To prevent corrosion, it is recommended to
apply a corrosion protection spray on all met-
al, including chrome- and nickel-plated, sur-
faces.
5. Use spray oil as a universal cleaner to re-
move any remaining dirt.
6. Touch up minor paint damage caused by
stones, etc.
7. Wax all painted surfaces.
8. Let the motorcycle dry completely before
storing or covering it.
WARNING
EWA19050
Contaminants on the brakes or tires can
cause loss of control.
• Make sure that there is no oil or wax on the
brakes or tires.
• If necessary, clean the brake discs and
brake linings with a regular brake disc
cleaner or acetone, and wash the tires with
warm water and a mild detergent. Before
riding at higher speeds, test the motorcy-
cle’s braking performance and cornering
behavior.
NOTICE
ECA24240
• Apply spray oil and wax sparingly and
make sure to wipe off any excess.
• Never apply oil or wax to any rubber and
plastic parts, but treat them with a suitable
care product.
• Avoid using abrasive polishing com-
pounds as they will wear away the paint.
TIP
•
Consult a Yamaha dealer for advice on what
products to use.
•
Washing, rainy weather or humid climates can
cause the headlight lens to fog. Turning the
headlight on for a short period of time will help
remove the moisture from the lens.

STORAGE
Short-term
Always store your motorcycle in a cool, dry place
and, if necessary, protect it against dust with a
porous cover. Be sure the engine and the ex-
haust system are cool before covering the mo-
torcycle.
NOTICE
ECA24250
• Storing the motorcycle in a poorly ventilat-
ed room or covering it with a tarp, while it is
still wet, will allow water and humidity to
seep in and cause rust.
• To prevent corrosion, avoid damp cellars,
stables (because of the presence of ammo-
nia) and areas where strong chemicals are
stored.
Long-term
Before storing your motorcycle for several
months:
1. Follow all the instructions in the “CARE” sec-
tion of this chapter.
2. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel stabilizer (if
available) to prevent the fuel tank from rusting
and the fuel from deteriorating.
3. Perform the following steps to protect the cyl-
inder, piston rings, etc. from corrosion.
▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
a. Remove the spark plug cap and spark plug.
b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil into the spark
plug bore.
c. Install the spark plug cap onto the spark plug,
and then place the spark plug on the cylinder
head so that the electrodes are grounded.
(This will limit sparking during the next step.)
d. Turn the engine over several times with the
starter. (This will coat the cylinder wall with
oil.)
e. Remove the spark plug cap from the spark
plug, and then install the spark plug and the
spark plug cap.
WARNING! To prevent
damage or injury from sparking, make
sure to ground the spark plug electrodes
while turning the engine over.

4. Lubricate all control cables and the pivoting
points of all levers and pedals as well as of
the sidestand/centerstand.
5. Check and, if necessary, correct the tire air
pressure, and then lift the motorcycle so that
both of its wheels are off the ground. Alterna-
tively, turn the wheels a little every month in
order to prevent the tires from becoming de-
graded in one spot.
6. Cover the muffler outlet with a plastic bag to
prevent moisture from entering it.
7. Remove the battery and fully charge it. Store
it in a cool, dry place and charge it once a
