MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE
7-5
74. Lubricate all control cables and
the pivoting points of all levers and
pedals as well as of the sidestand/
centerstand.
5. 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.
6. Cover the muffler outlets with plas-
tic bags to prevent moisture from
entering them.
7. 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 6-31.
NOTE:_ Make any necessary repairs before
storing the motorcycle. _
