Storing
• Clean the motorcycle (

• Remove the battery (
b

comply with the maintenance
instructions (

• Spray the brake and clutch
lever pivots and the main and
side stand pivots with a suit-
able lubricant
• Coat bright metal/chrome-
plated parts with an acid-free
grease (e.g. Vaseline)
• Place the motorcycle on its
center stand in a dry place
• Support it under the engine
so that both wheels are clear
of the ground.
Before storing the motorcycle,
it is advisable to have the en-
gine oil changed by your autho-
rized BMW motorcycle retailer.
Work needed in conjunction
with storing or returning to use
can best be combined with the
Service or Inspection work per-
formed when due by the autho-
rized BMW motorcycle retailer.
