LONG PERIODS OF INACTIVITY
If the vehicle is to be stored for a relatively
long period of time, such as over the winter,
some simple precautions will make putting
the vehicle back into service much easier.
It is much less difficult to prepare the vehicle
for storage properly than it is to restore the
vehicle to proper working condition after a
storage period if you have forgotten or
neglected to do this preparation.
To prepare the vehicle for storage:
♦ Empty the fuel tank and carburetor, see p.
86 (DRAINING THE FUEL TANK).
♦ Remove the spark plug, see p. 66
(CHECKING THE STAND).
♦ Pour a teaspoon [0.17 – 0.34 US fl oz (5-
10 cm 3 )] of 2 stroke engine oil into the
cylinder.
NOTE
Cover the spark plug hole with a
clean cloth in order to protect the rest of
the bike from sprayed oil.
♦ Turn the ignition switch (1) to the “ ” (ON)
position and push the engine start button “
” (2) for a few seconds to distribute the
oil evenly on the surfaces of the cylinder.
♦ Remove the cloth.
♦ Replace the spark plug, see p. 66
(CHECKING THE STAND).
♦ Remove the battery, see p. 77
(REMOVING THE BATTERY) and p. 77
(BATTERY STORAGE).
♦
Wash and dry the vehicle, see p. 87
(CLEANING).
NOTE
Do not use abrasive pastes for
polishing matt paints.
♦ Polish the painted surfaces with wax.
♦ Inflate the tires, see p. 42 (TIRES).
♦ By means of a suitable support, position
the vehicle so that both tires are raised from
the ground.
♦ Place the vehicle in an unheated, not-
humid room, away from sunlight, with
minimum temperature variations.
♦ Place a plastic bag over the outlet pipe of
the muffler, and tape or tie it tight.
♦ Cover the vehicle with an old sheet or a
light canvas, do not use a sheet of plastic
or other waterproof material. This will cau-
se condensation which will result in
corrosion.
PUTTING THE VEHICLE BACK INTO
SERVICE
♦
Uncover and clean the vehicle, see p. 87
(CLEANING).
♦
Check the charge of the battery, see p. 78
(RECHARGING THE BATTERY) and
install it, see p. 78 (INSTALLING THE
BATTERY).
♦
Make sure that the fuel drain screw is
thoroughly screwed (breather pipe closing
index), see p. 86 (DRAINING THE FUEL
TANK).
♦
Refill the fuel tank, see p. 36 (FUEL).
♦
Carry out the preliminary checking opera-
tions, see p. 46 (PRELIMINARY
CHECKING OPERATIONS).
Test ride the vehicle at moderate speed
in a low traffic area before you ride in
heavy traffic.
