Cleaning and Storage

121

Stabilize Fuel

1. Using a mixture of fuel and the amount of gasoline stabilizer recommended by the stabilizer

manufacturer, fill the fuel tank only to the top of the filler insert.

2. Start and run the engine for 15 minutes to pass the stabilized fuel through entire fuel--injection

system.

Protect Engine Components

1. Change the engine oil (see “Change Engine Oil and Oil Filter” page 74). You do not need to replace

the oil filter at this time, but you must replace the oil filter when you remove the motorcycle from

storage.

Carbon deposits, normally suspended in engine oil that is in service, settle on internal engine components
during storage. Settled carbon deposits can cause engine damage.

Caution

2. Using pressurized air, blow any debris from the area around each spark plug.

Wear face protection when using pressurized air.

WARNING

3. Remove the spark plugs (see “Check or Replace Spark Plugs” page 101). Pour one tablespoon of

clean motor oil into each spark plug hole.
