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
•
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
•
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
102).
•
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
•
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.
