MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE
7-3
After cleaning
1. Dry the motorcycle with a
chamois or an absorbing cloth.
2. Immediately dry the drive
chain and lubricate it to pre-
vent it from rusting.
3. Use a chrome polish to shine
chrome, aluminum and stain-
less-steel parts, including the
exhaust system. (Even the
thermally induced discoloring
of stainless-steel exhaust sys-
tems can be removed through
polishing.)
4. To prevent corrosion, it is rec-
ommended to apply a corro-
sion protection spray on all
(even chrome- and nickel-plat-
ed) metal surfaces.
5. Use spray oil as a universal
cleaner to remove any remain-
ing dirt.
6. Touch up minor paint damage
caused by stones, etc.
7. Wax all painted surfaces.
8. Let the motorcycle dry com-
pletely before storing it or cov-
ering it.EWA00001

Make sure that there is no oil or
wax on the brakes and tires. If nec-
essary, clean the brake discs and
linings with a regular brake disc
cleaner or acetone, and wash the
tires with warm water and mild
soap. Then, carefully test the
motorcycle for its braking perfor-
mance and cornering behavior.

8Apply spray oil and wax spar-
ingly and wipe off any excess.
8Never apply oil or wax on rub-
ber and plastic parts, but treat
them with a suitable care
product.
8Avoid using abrasive polishing
compounds as they wear
away the paint.
NOTE:
Consult a Yamaha dealer for
advice on what products to use.

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE
7-4
Storage
Short-term
Always store your motorcycle in a
cool, dry place and, if necessary,
protect it against dust with a
porous cover.
ECA00014
cC
8Storing the motorcycle in a
poorly ventilated room or cov-
ering it with a tarp while it is
still wet will allow water and
humidity to seep in and cause
rust.
8To prevent corrosion, avoid
damp cellars, stables (because
of the presence of ammonia)
and areas where strong chem-
icals are stored.
Long-term
Before storing your motorcycle for
several months:
1. Follow all the instructions in
the “Care” section of this
chapter.
2. Drain the carburetor float
chambers by loosening the
drain bolts; this will prevent
fuel deposits from building up.
Pour the drained fuel into the
fuel tank.
3. Only for motorcycles equipped
with a fuel cock which has an
“OFF” position: Turn the fuel
cock to “OFF”.
4. Fill up the fuel tank and add
fuel stabilizer (if available) to
prevent the fuel tank from rust-
ing and the fuel from deterio-
rating.
5. Perform the following steps to
protect the cylinders, piston
rings, etc. from corrosion.
a. Remove the spark plug caps
and spark plugs.
b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine
oil into each spark plug bore.c. Install the spark plug caps onto
the spark plugs and place the
spark plugs 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 walls
with oil.)
e. Remove the spark plug caps
from the spark plugs, install
the spark plugs and then the
spark plug caps.
EWA00003
w
When turning the engine over, be
sure to ground the spark plug elec-
trodes to prevent damage or injury
from sparking.
6. Lubricate all control cables and
the pivoting points of all levers
and pedals as well as of the
sidestand/centerstand.

Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-friction
modifiers. Passenger car motor oils (often labeled “Energy
Conserving”) contain anti-friction additives which will cause
clutch and/or starter clutch slippage, resulting in reduced
component life and poor engine performance.
