trodes while turning the en-
gine over.

[EWA10951]

5. Lubricate all control cables and the

pivoting points of all levers and
brake pedal.

6. 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 degraded in one
spot.

7. Cover the muffler outlet with a

plastic bag to prevent moisture
from entering it.
