20.1 Storage
Warning
Danger of poisoning Fuel is poisonous and a health hazard.
–
Fuel must not come into contact with the skin, eyes, or clothing. Do not breathe in the fuel vapors. If contact occurs with
the eyes, rinse with water immediately and contact a physician. Immediately clean contaminated areas on the skin with
soap and water. If fuel is swallowed, contact a physician immediately. Change clothing that has been contaminated with
fuel. Store fuel properly in a suitable canister and keep away from children.
Info
If you want to garage the motorcycle for a longer period, take the following steps.
Before storing the motorcycle, check all parts for function and wear. If service, repairs or replacements are necessary, you
should do this during the storage period (less workshop overload). In this way, you can avoid long workshop waiting times at the
start of the new season.

perature.
Info
KTM recommends raising the motorcycle.
–
Raise the motorcycle with the lift stand. ( p. 51)
–
Preferably cover the vehicle with a tarp or similar cover that is permeable to air.
Do not use non-porous materials since they prevent humidity from escaping, thus
causing corrosion.
Info
Avoid running the engine for a short time only. Since the engine cannot
warm up properly, the water vapor produced during combustion condenses
and causes valves and exhaust system to rust.
