StorageAlways store the vehicle in a cool, dry
place. If necessary, protect it against
dust with a porous cover. Be sure the
engine and the exhaust system are
cool before covering the vehicle. If the
vehicle often sits for weeks at a time
between uses, the use of a quality fuel
stabilizer is recommended after each
fill-up.NOTICE
ECA21170

Storing the vehicle 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.

To prevent corrosion, avoid
damp cellars, stables (because
of the presence of ammonia)
and areas where strong chemi-cals are stored.
Long term storage
Before storing the vehicle long term (60
days or more): 1. Make all necessary repairs and perform any outstanding mainte-
nance.
2. Follow all instructions in the Care section of this chapter.
3. Fill up the fuel tank, adding fuel stabilizer according to product in-
structions. Run the engine for 5
minutes to distribute treated fuel
through the fuel system.
4. For vehicles equipped with a fuel cock: Turn the fuel cock lever to
the off position.
5. For vehicles with a carburetor: To prevent fuel deposits from building
up, drain the fuel in the carburetor
float chamber into a clean contain-
er. Retighten the drain bolt and
pour the fuel back into the fuel
tank.
6. Use a quality engine fogging oil ac- cording to product instructions to
protect internal engine compo-
nents from corrosion. If engine fog-
ging oil is not available, perform
the following steps for each cylin-
der:
a. Remove the spark plug cap and spark plug.
b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil into the spark plug bore.
c. Install the spark plug cap onto the spark plug, and then place
the spark plug on the cylinder
head so that the electrodes are
grounded. (This will limit spark-
ing during the next step.)
d. Turn the engine over several times with the starter. (This will
coat the cylinder wall with oil.)
WARNING! To prevent dam-
age or injury from sparking,
make sure to ground the
spark plug electrodes while
turning the engine
over.
[EWA10952]
e. Remove the spark plug capfrom the spark plug, and then
install the spark plug and the
spark plug cap.
7. Lubricate all control cables, pivots, levers and pedals, as well as the
sidestand and centerstand (if
equipped).
8. Check and correct the tire air pres- sure, and then lift the vehicle so
that all wheels are off the ground.
Otherwise, turn the wheels a little
once a month in order to prevent
