Storage
Info
If you want to garage the motorcycle for a longer period, take the following actions.
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.
–
Make sure the tank is as empty as possible so that you can fill up with fresh fuel when you put the motorcycle back into operation.
–

Info
Do not use non-porous materials since they prevent humidity from escaping, thus causing corrosion.
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.
