When the motorcycle is to be stored for any length

pared for storage as follows.
Clean the entire vehicle thoroughly.
Run the engine for about five minutes to warm the
oil, then stop it a nd

Install the oil drain bolt and fill in fresh transmission
oil.
Empty the fuel from the fuel tank by the pump or
siphon.
Empty the fuel system by running the engine at
idle speed until the engine stalls (If left in for a long
time, the fuel will break down and could clog the

To evaporate residual gasoline in the small pas-
sages and jets in the carburetor, kick the engine a
few times.

explosive under certain conditions, creating
the potential for serious burns. Always stop
the engine and never smoke while handling
