MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE
7-5
77. Check and, if necessary, correct
the tire air pressure, and then lift
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 the muffler outlets with plas-
tic 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 ex-
cessively cold or warm place (less
than 0°C or more than 30°C). For
more information on storing the
battery, see page 6-30.
NOTE:@ Make any necessary repairs before
storing the motorcycle. @U5SCE0.book Page 5 Thursday, June 7, 2001 11:24 AM
