Check if there is fuel
in the fuel tank.

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE
/Net/layout8/layout_G2/work/Imai_work/OM-PS/AA9149_XV535-E6/English/E-7.frame
1. Clean your motorcycle with cold
water and soap after the engine
has cooled down.
ECA00012
CAUTION:
Do not use warm water since it in-
creases the corrosive action of the
salt.
2. Be sure to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all (even chrome-
and nickel-plated) metal surfaces
to prevent corrosion.After cleaning
1. Dry the motorcycle with a chamois
or an absorbing cloth.
2. Use a chrome polish to shine
chrome, aluminum and stainless-
steel parts, including the exhaust
system. (Even the thermally in-
duced discoloring of stainless-
steel exhaust systems can be re-
moved through polishing.)
3. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-
mended to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all (even chrome-
and nickel-plated) metal surfaces.
4. Use spray oil as a universal clean-
er to remove any remaining dirt.
5. Touch up minor paint damage
caused by stones, etc.
6. Wax all painted surfaces.
7. Let the motorcycle dry completely
before storing it or covering it.
EWA00001
Make sure that there is no oil or wax
on the brakes and tires. If neces-
sary, clean the brake discs and lin-
ings 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 performance and cor-
nering behavior.

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
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 side-
stand/centerstand.
7. Check and, if necessary, correct
the tire air pressure, then raise the
motorcycle so that both of its
wheels are off the ground. Alterna-
tively, turn the wheels a little every
month in order to prevent the tires
from becoming degraded in one
spot.
8. Cover up the muffler outlets with
plastic bags to prevent moisture
from entering.9. Remove the battery and fully
charge it. Store it in a cool, dry
place and recharge it once a
month. Do not store the battery in
an excessively cold or warm place
(less than 0ûC or more than 30ûC).
For more information, see ÒBattery
storageÓ in the chapter ÒPERIODIC
MAINTENANCE AND MINOR
REPAIRSÓ.
NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before
storing the motorcycle.

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