Storage
All vehicles seem to do better when in regular use; components have a
chance to warm up and air out, batteries stay charged, and tires and other
rubber parts are kept pliable.
CAUTION!
The battery is the most perishable component on the bike; it
must be stored charged to avoid degradation or serious damage.
Lead-acid batteries face an additional risk of freezing.
Short-Term Storage (Under 1 Month)
Fully charge the battery before storing. Switch off breaker if alarm func-
tion is not required.
Keep dry.
Long-Term Storage
Fully charge your battery and turn off the circuit breaker.
At least once a month, turn on the breaker, charge the battery, and turn it
off again.
Keep tires fully inflated.
Beware of high humidity; it can cause corrosion of electrical connections
and possible internal rusting of the motor magnets. Finding a low-humid-
ity well-ventilated indoor location should be a priority. Beware of using a
cover when over moist ground since that can act as a moisture trap and
be worse than no cover at all.
Be aware that when the circuit breaker is on, the battery is discharging
even with the ignition off. The alarm system, armed or not, will slowly
drain power from your battery unless the breaker is off. The alarm will
empty a 20 A-h battery in approximately seven months not even factor-
ing-in self-discharge.
