7. Clean the seat with a vinyl upholstery
cleaner to keep the cover pliable and
glossy.
8. Automotive type wax may be applied to all
painted and chrome plated surfaces.
Avoid combination cleaner-waxes. Many
contain abrasives which may mar the paint
or protective finish.
When finished, start the engine and let it
idle for several minutes.wWet brakes may have reduced stopping abili-
ty, increasing the chance of an accident.
Test the brakes after washing. Apply the
brakes several times at slow speeds to let
friction dry out the linings.

EBU00529B. STORAGE
Long term storage (60 days or more) of your
machine will require some preventive proce-
dures to guard against deterioration. After thor-
oughly cleaning the machine, prepare for stor-
age as follows:
1. Drain the fuel tank, fuel lines and carbure-
tor float bowls.
2. Remove the spark plugs, pour about one
tablespoon of SAE 10W30 or 20W40
motor oil in the spark plug holes and rein-
stall the spark plugs. Ground the spark
plug wires and turn the engine over several
times to coat the cylinder walls with oil.
3. Clean the drive chain thoroughly and lubri-
cate it. (See page 8-95 for details.)
Reinstall the chain or store it in a plastic
bag tied to frame for safekeeping.
4. Lubricate all control cables.

cCBe 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.
