WARNING
Do not store motorcycle with gasoline in tank within the
home or garage where open flames, pilot lights, sparks
or electric motors are present. Gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive, which could result in
death or serious injury. (00003a)
If the motorcycle will not be operated for several months,
such as during the winter season, there are several things
which should be done to protect parts against corrosion, to
preserve the battery and to prevent the buildup of gum and
varnish in the fuel system.
1.
Fill fuel tank and add a gasoline stabilizer. Use one of the
commercially available gasoline stabilizers following the
manufacturer’s instructions. Run engine until treated
gasoline has had a chance to reach fuel injectors.
2.
Remove battery and charge as needed to maintain the
correct voltage. See
1.5 BATTERY MAINTENANCE
.
3.
Remove the spark plugs, inject a few squirts of engine oil
into each cylinder and crank the engine 5-6 revolutions.
Reinstall spark plugs. See
1.14 SPARK PLUGS
.
4.
Adjust primary chain. See
1.11 PRIMARY CHAIN
.
5.
Check tire inflation. See
1.8 TIRES AND WHEELS.
If the
motorcycle will be stored for an extended period of time,
securely support the motorcycle so that all weight is off
the tires.

WARNING
Be sure that brake fluid or other lubricants do not con-
tact brake pads or discs. Such contact can adversely
affect braking ability, which could cause loss of control,
resulting in death or serious injury. (00290a).
6.
Wash molded-in-color and chrome-plated surfaces.
Apply a light film of oil to exposed uncoated metal sur-
faces.
7.
If motorcycle is to be covered, use a material that will
breathe, such as light canvas. Plastic materials that do
not breathe promote the formation of condensation.
