SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE
7
StorageShort-term
Always store your scooter in a cool, dry
place and, if necessary, protect it
against dust with a porous cover.
ECA00015
•
Storing the scooter in a poorly
ventilated room or covering it
with a tarp, while it is still wet,
will allow water and humidity to
seep in and cause rust.
•
To prevent corrosion, avoid
damp cellars, stables (because
of the presence of ammonia)
and areas where strongchemicals are stored.Long-term
Before storing your scooter for several
months:
1. Follow all the instructions in the
"Care" section of this chapter.
2. Drain the carburetor float
chamber by loosening the drain
bolt; this will prevent fuel deposits
from building up. Pour the drained
fuel into the fuel tank.
3. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel
stabilizer (if available) to prevent
the fuel tank from rusting and the
fuel from deteriorating.
4. Perform the following steps to
protect the cylinder, piston rings,
etc. from corrosion.
a. Remove the spark plug cap
and spark plug.
b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine
oil into the spark plug bore.
c. Install the spark plug cap onto
the spark plug, and then place
the spark plug on the cylinder
head so that the electrodes are
grounded. (This will limit
sparking during the next step.)
d. Turn the engine over several
times with the starter. (This will
coat the cylinder wall with oil.)
e. Remove the spark plug cap
from the spark plug, and then
install the spark plug and the
spark plug cap.
EWA00003
To prevent damage or injury from
sparking, make sure to ground the
spark plug electrodes while turningthe engine over.
5. Lubricate all control cables and
the pivoting points of all levers and
pedals as well as of the sidestand/
centerstand.
6. Check and, if necessary, correct
the tire air pressure, and then lift
the scooter so that both of its
wheels are off the ground.
Alternatively, turn the wheels a
little every month in order to
prevent the tires from becoming
degraded in one spot.
