Cleaning And Storage
112
Preparation for Storage
Clean and dry the entire vehicle
thoroughly.
Fill the fuel tank with the correct grade
of unleaded fuel and add a suitable fuel
stabilizer (if available), following the fuel
stabilizer manufacturer’s instructions.
Warning
Gasoline is extremely flammable and
can be explosive under certain
conditions. Turn the ignition switch
OFF. Do not smoke. Make sure the area
is well ventilated and free from any
source of flame or sparks; this includes
any appliance with a pilot light.
Remove one of the spark plugs from
each cylinder and put several drops
0.17 fl oz (5 ml) of engine oil into each
cylinder. Cover the spark plug holes with
a piece of cloth or rag. With the engine
stop switch in the RUN position, push
the starter button for a few seconds to
coat the cylinder walls with oil. Install
the spark plugs, tightening to 9 lbf ft
(12 Nm).
Change the engine oil and filter (see
page
70).
Check and if necessary correct the tire
pressures (see page
92).
Set the motorcycle on a stand so that
both wheels are raised off the ground.
(If this cannot be done, put boards
under the front and rear wheels to keep
dampness away from the tires.)
Spray rust inhibiting oil (there are a host
of products on the market and your
authorized Triumph dealer will be able to
offer you local advice) on all unpainted
metal surfaces to prevent rusting.
Prevent oil from getting on rubber
parts, brake discs or in the brake
calipers.
Make sure the cooling system is filled
with a 50% mixture of coolant (noting
that HD4X Hybrid OAT coolant, as
supplied by Triumph, is pre-mixed and
requires no dilution) and distilled water
solution (see page
73).
Remove the battery, and store it where
it will not be exposed to direct sunlight,
moisture, or freezing temperatures.
During storage it should be given a slow
charge (one Ampere or less) about once
every two weeks (see page 98).
Store the motorcycle in a cool, dry area,
away from sunlight, and with a minimum
daily temperature variation.
Put a suitable porous cover over the
motorcycle to keep dust and dirt from
collecting on it. Avoid using plastic or
similar non-breathable, coated materials
that restrict air flow and allow heat and
moisture to accumulate.
