MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE7.Check and, if necessary, correct
the tire air pressure, and then lift
the motorcycle so that both of its
wheels are off the ground.
Alternatively, turn the wheels a
little every month in order to pre-
vent the tires from becoming
degraded in one spot.
8.Cover the muffler outlets with
plastic bags to prevent moisture
from entering them.
9.Remove the battery and fully
charge it. Store it in a cool, dry
place and charge it once a
month. Do not store the battery
in an excessively cold or warm
place (less than 0 ¡C or more
than 30 ¡C). For more informa-
tion on storing the battery, see
page 6-32.NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before
storing the motorcycle.
