STORAGE GUIDE
Extended storage, such as for winter, requires
that you take certain steps to reduce the effects of
deterioration from non-use of the motorcycle. In
addition, necessary repairs should be made BEFORE
storing the motorcycle; otherwise, these repairs may
be forgotten by the time the motorcycle is removed
from storage.
Storage
1. Change the engine oil.
2. Drain the fuel tank and carburetor into an
approved petrol container. Reinstall the fuel fill
cap on the tank.
To assure proper performance after storage lasting
more than one month, it is important to drain the
carburetor.

Petrol is highly flammable and explosive. You can
be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.
Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame
away.
Refuel only outdoors.
Wipe up spills immediately.
3. To prevent rusting in the cylinder, perform the
following:
Remove the spark plug cap from the spark
plug. Using tape or string, secure the cap to
any convenient plastic body part so that it is
positioned away from the spark plug.
Remove the spark plug from the engine and
store it in a safe place. Do not connect the
spark plug to the spark plug cap.
Pour a tablespoon (15 – 20 cm
engine oil into the cylinder and cover the spark
plug hole with a piece of cloth.
Crank the engine several times to distribute the
oil.
Reinstall the spark plug and spark plug cap.
4. Remove the battery. Store in an area protected
from freezing temperatures and direct sunlight.
Slow charge the battery once a month.
