96. Rinse the motorcycle off
immediately with clean water
and dry all surfaces with a
chamois, clean towel, or soft
absorbent cloth.
7. Dry the chain and lubricate it
to prevent rust.
8. Clean the seat with a vinyl
upholstery cleaner to keep the
cover pliable and glossy.
9. 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 protec-
tive finish. When finished, start
the engine and let it idle for
several minutes.
EAU01107B. STORAGE
Long term storage (60 days or
more) of your motorcycle will
require some preventive proce-
dures to guard against deteriora-
tion. After thoroughly cleaning the
motorcycle, prepare for storage as
follows:
1. Fill the fuel tank with fuel and
add fuel stabilizer (if available).
2. Remove the spark plug, pour
about one tablespoon of SAE
10W30 or 20W40 motor oil in
the spark plug hole and rein-
stall the spark plug. Turn the
engine over several times
(ground spark plug lead) to
coat the cylinder wall with oil.

When using the starter motor to
crank the engine, remove the
spark plug wires, and ground them
to prevent sparking.
3. Thoroughly clean and lubricate
the drive chain. (For details,
see “Drive chain lubrication”
on page 6-23.)
4. Lubricate all control cables.
5. Block up the frame to raise
both wheels off the ground.
6. Tie a plastic bag over the
exhaust pipe outlet to prevent
moisture from entering.
7. If storing in a humid or salt-air
atmosphere, coat all exposed
metal surfaces with a light film
of oil. Do not apply oil to any
rubber parts or the seat cover.
8. Remove the battery and
charge it. Store it in a dry place
and recharge 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.
NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before
storing the motorcycle.
