CLEANING AND STORAGE

Storage
Preparation for Storage
To prepare the motorcycle for storage,
do the following:
▼ Clean and dry the entire vehicle
thoroughly.
▼ Fill the fuel tank with the correct
grade of unleaded fuel and add a fuel
stabiliser (if available), following the
fuel
stabiliser manufacturer's
instructions.
Warning
Petrol 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 the spark plug from each
cylinder and put several drops (5 cc)
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 12 Nm.
▼ Change the engine oil and filter (see
page
147 ).
▼
Check and if necessary correct the
tyre pressures (see the relevant
Specification section).
▼ 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
numerous 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.
▼ Lubricate and if necessary adjust the
drive chain (see page
155).
▼ 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
150).
▼ 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
188).
▼ 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.
