When stored for a long time, your motorcycle must be protected against moisture, sunlight and rain.
Before storing, the following steps should be taken:
1. Replace the engine oil.
2. Drain the fuel completely out of the fuel tank and carburettor and fill the fuel tank with anti-rust fluid.
3. Disconnect and remove the battery and put it in a cool place.
4. After cleaning your motorcycle, apply a colour fixing or preserving agent on coloured parts and grease
on moving metal parts.
5. Inflate tyres to specified pressure and then lift the motorcycle onto blocks to keep the wheels off the
ground.
6. Finally, cover your motorcycle.

months, replace the engine oil.
