STORAGE
When the motorcycle needs to be stored for a long period of time, you should:
- Thoroughly clean the motorcycle.
- Start and run the engine for about 5 minutes to heat the transmission oil and
then drain it (see the ‘Draining the crankcase’ section on p. 20).
- Put in new transmission oil.
- Empty the fuel tank (if left for a long time, petrol deteriorates).
- Lubricate the chain and all cables.
- Put oil on all unpainted metal surfaces to prevent rust, but avoid getting it on
the brakes and rubber parts.
- Wrap the exhaust pipe with a plastic bag to prevent rusting.
- Place the motorcycle in such a way that the two wheels do not touch the
ground (if this is not possible put cardboard underneath the wheels).
- Cover the motorcycle to protect it from dust and dirt.
To put it into operation after storage:
- Remove the plastic bag from the exhaust pipe.
- Tighten the spark plug.
- Fill up the fuel tank.
- General lubrication.
- Check tyre pressure, inflate them to the correct pressure if necessary.
To avoid excessive ageing of the plastic and other washable parts of the motor
-
cycle, we recommend careful cleaning of them. If you use high pressure and/or
temperature water equipment, take care to keep the water jet at least 30 centime
-
tres away from the surfaces to ensure that the plastic stays shiny and the stickers
that decorate the motorcycle are not removed.
