STORAGE
STORAGE
Before storing your motorcycle, thoroughly clean and dry your
motorcycle.
Make sure the tyres have the correct cold tyre pressures and, if
possible, raise the motorcycle off of the ground to reduce exposure of
the front and rear wheels and tyres to dampness.
To prevent rust, apply a rust inhibiting oil to any unpainted body panel
surfaces.
Remove the 12-volt, primary and secondary batteries, and store them
away from direct sunlight, moisture, or freezing temperatures. For
further information, see 12-volt battery removal and installation on
page 60.
The 12-volt battery can be charged using a battery optimiser once
every two weeks. For further information, see 12-volt battery
charging on page 62.
The charge in the primary and/or secondary batteries should also be
maintained on a regular basis and it is recommended to store them at
50% State of Charge (SoC). Storing these batteries at less than 10% or
more than 90% over a long period of time will cause irreversible loss
in capacity.
You should store your motorcycle in a cool, dry area, out of direct
sunlight, and with a low variation in daily temperature.
To avoid dust and dirt collecting on your motorcycle, use a suitable
porous motorcycle cover.
Caution
: Never use a non-breathable cover, such as plastic,
as this will restrict the flow of air around the motorcycle and
allow heat and moisture to build up. This moisture can cause
surface corrosion and paint bubbling and peeling.
When you are ready to ride your motorcycle again, remove the cover
and give the motorcycle a good clean.
Before you take your motorcycle out, check the motorcycle over. For
further information, see Daily safety checks on page 38.
