Cleaning and Storage
165
• 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 tyres.)
• Spray rust inhibiting oil (there are a
host of products on the market and
your 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
premixed and requires no dilution)
and distilled water solution (see
page 124).
• 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) approximately once
every two weeks (see page 146).
• 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.
Preparation after Storage
To prepare the motorcycle after storage,
do the following:
• Install the battery (if removed) (see
page 149).
• If the motorcycle has been stored
for more than four months, change
the engine oil (see page 121).
• Check all the points listed in the
Daily Safety Checks section.
• Before starting the engine, remove
the spark plugs from each cylinder.
• Put the side stand down.
• Crank the engine on the starter
motor several times until the oil
pressure light goes out.
• Refit the spark plugs, tightening to
12 Nm, and start the engine.
• Check and if necessary correct the
tyre pressures.
• Clean the entire vehicle thoroughly.
• Check the brakes for correct
operation.
• Test ride the motorcycle at low
speeds.
