6. Lubricate all control cables and
the pivoting points of all levers
and pedals as well as of the
sidestand/centerstand.
7. Check and, if necessary, correct
the tire air pressure, then raise
the motorcycle 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.
8. Cover up the muffler outlet with a
plastic bag to prevent moisture
from entering.
9. Remove the battery and fully
charge it. Store it in a cool, dry
place and recharge 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, see “Battery storage” in the
chapter “PERIODIC MAINTE-
NANCE AND MINOR
REPAIRS”.
NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before
storing the motorcycle.
