your motorcycle will require some pre-
ventive procedures to guard against
deterioration. After thoroughly cleaning
the motorcycle, prepare for storage as
follows:

carburetor float bowl(s).
2. Lubricate all control cables.
3. Block up the frame to raise both
wheels off the ground.
4. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust
pipe outlet to prevent moisture
from entering.

mosphere, coat all exposed metal
surfaces with a light film of oil. Do
not apply oil to any rubber parts or
the seat cover.6. Remove the battery and charge it.
Store it in a dry place and re-
charge it once a month. Do not

warm or cold place (less than 0°C
or more than 30°C).
