7-MOTORCYCLE CLEANING AND STORAGE
EAK01302*
A. CLEANINGFrequent, thorough cleaning of your
motorcycle will not only enhance its ap-
pearance but will improve its general
performance and extend the useful life
of many components.
1. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off
with a garden hose.
EUU34602
CAUTION:_Excessive hose pressure may cause
water seepage and deterioration of
wheel bearings, front fork, brakes,
transmission seals and electrical
parts.2. After cleaning the motorcycle, dry
all surfaces with a chamois, clean
towel, or soft absorbent cloth.
3. Automotive-type wax may be ap-
plied to all painted and chrome-
plated surfaces. When finished,
start the engine and let it idle for
several minutes.
EAK00700*
B. STORAGELong term storage (60 days or more) of
your motorcycle will require some pre-
ventive procedures to guard against
deterioration. After thoroughly cleaning
the motorcycle, prepare for storage as
follows:
1. Drain the fuel tank, fuel lines, and
carburetor float bowl(s).
2. Lubricate all control cables.
3. Block up the frame to raise both
wheels off the ground.
4. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust
pipe outlet to prevent moisture
from entering.
5. If storing in a humid or salt-air at-
mosphere, coat all exposed metal
surfaces with a light film of oil. Do
not apply oil to any rubber parts or
the seat cover.6. Remove the battery and charge it.
Store it in a dry place and re-
charge it once a month. Do not
store the battery in an excessively
warm or cold place (less than 0°C
or more than 30°C).
