Storage
If the motorcycle is not in use for a long time in the winter or the other seasons, use suitable
materials, equipment or technology to specifically maintain it.
Motorcycle
When the motorcycle is not in use for a long time, properly make preparation as follows: Clean the
entire motorcycle. Support the motor on the central supporting bracket and place it on the hard and
even ground to prevent the motorcycle rolling. And then, always left turn the motorcycle grip and lock
the operating device. Finally, remove the igniting key for purpose of storage safety. Meanwhile,
select a place suitable for storage for a long time. Thoroughly examine the motorcycle if you want to
re - use it to ensure that performance of all the parts of the motorcycle is normal for service.
Fuel
Thoroughly drain the oil tank before storage of the motorcycle. Gasoline is flammable even
explosive under a certain condition. Therefore, the motorcycle must not keep close with ignition
source and it shall not be parking near easily spontaneous - combustion substances such as grain,
coal, and cotton etc. Otherwise, the fuel in the motorcycle will easily result in fire hazard once
contact with open flame.
Tire
Fill the tire by a normal air pressure value. Keep clean for the outside of the tire. Avoid insolation for
a long time. Meanwhile, pay attention to moisture prevention. Avoid contact with acid, alkali, and oil
for prevention of tire corrosion.
Battery
When the motorcycle is not in use for a long time, remove the battery from the motorcycle. Fully
charge it and then keep away from children. Charge it once a month in summer and once two
months in winter. If the battery is placed on the motorcycle for a long time, please charge it once a
month.
Procedures during Battery Storage
Monthly examine electrolyte level. If the electrolyte level drops, please fill with distilled water or pure
water immediately up to the maximum level. Never fill with electrolyte or tapping water.
Always keep the battery clean. If electrolyte contacts motorcycle, terminal, and lead, it will result in
corrosion. If corrosion can be found, please flush with fresh water immediately and apply with grease
after drying.
The engine failing to start, weak sound of horn, and non - flashing turning lamp shows lack of
electricity capacity. Here, you should immediately charge for 15 ~ 20 hours. Pay attention that the
battery not in use for a long time under thoroughly discharging situation may possibly be damaged.
When the polar plate is white, the battery is under thoroughly discharging situation, or the electrolyte
level is below the lower limit, or it cannot be recovery through charging after not in use for a long time,
its service life is up.
