4. Once the majority of the dirt has been hosed
off, wash all surfaces with warm water and
mild, detergent-type soap. An old toothbrush
or bottle brush is handy for hard-to-get-at
places.
5. Rinse the vehicle off immediately with clean
water and dry all surfaces with a clean cham-
ois towel or soft, absorbent cloth.
6. Clean the seats with a vinyl upholstery clean-
er to keep the covers pliable and glossy.
7. Automotive-type wax may be applied to all
painted and chrome-plated surfaces. Avoid
combination cleaner-waxes. Many contain
abrasives which may scratch the paint or pro-
tective finish. When finished, start the engine
and let it idle for several minutes.

B. Storage
Long term storage (60 days or more) of your vehi-
cle will require some preventive procedures to
guard against deterioration. Make any necessary
repairs before storing the vehicle.
After thoroughly cleaning the vehicle, prepare for
storage as follows:
1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add the
specified amount of Yamaha Fuel Stabilizer
and Conditioner or equivalent product. Oper-
ate the vehicle for at least 5 minutes to dis-
tribute treated fuel through the fuel system.
2. Remove the spark plug, pour about one ta-
blespoon of SAE 10W-40 or 20W-50 motor
oil in the spark plug hole and reinstall the
spark plug. Ground the spark plug wire and
turn the engine over several times to coat the
cylinder wall with oil. Specified amount:
1 oz of stabilizer to each gallon of fuel
(or 7.5 ml of stabilizer to each liter of fuel)

ity than specified. In addition, do not use oils la-
beled “ENERGY CONSERVING II” or higher.
