SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE

Storage
Storage
Short-term
Always store your scooter in a cool,
dry place and, if necessary, protect it
against dust with a porous cover.

Storing the scooter in a poorly
ventilated room or covering it
with a tarp, while it is still wet,
will allow water and humidity
to seep in and cause rust.
8 8
To prevent corrosion, avoid
damp cellars, stables (because
of the presence of ammonia)
and areas where strong chemi-
cals are stored.
Long-term
Before storing your scooter for sever-
al months:
1. Follow all the instructions in the
“Care” section of this chapter.
2. Drain the carburetor float cham-
bers by loosening the drain bolts;
this will prevent fuel deposits
from building up. Pour the
drained fuel into the fuel tank.
3. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel
stabilizer (if available) to prevent
the fuel tank from rusting and the
fuel from deteriorating.
4. Perform the following steps to
protect the cylinders, piston
rings, etc. from corrosion.a. Remove the spark plug caps
and the spark plugs.
b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine
oil into the spark plug bores.
c. Install the spark plug caps
onto the spark plugs, and then
place the spark plugs on the
cylinder head so that the elec-
trodes are grounded. (This will
limit sparking during the next
step.)
d. Turn the engine over several
times with the starter. (This
will coat the cylinder walls with
oil.)
e. Remove the spark plug caps
from the spark plugs, and then
install the spark plugs and the
spark plug caps.

To prevent damage or injury from
sparking, make sure to ground the
spark plug electrodes while turn-
ing the engine over.

SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE
75. Lubricate all control cables and
the pivoting points of all levers
and pedals as well as of the
sidestand/centerstand.
6. Check and, if necessary, correct
the tire air pressure, and then lift
the scooter so that both of its
wheels are off the ground.
Alternatively, turn the wheels a
little every month in order to pre-
vent the tires from becoming
degraded in one spot.
7. Cover the muffler outlet with a
plastic bag to prevent moisture
from entering it.8. 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 excessively cold or warm
place (less than 0 °C or more
than 30 °C). For more informa-
tion on storing the battery, see
page 6-33.
NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before
storing the scooter.

In order to prevent clutch slippage (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel specification of “CD” or oils of a
higher quality than specified. In addition, do not use oils
labeled “ENERGY CONSERVING
