STORAGE
Clean and Protect the Motorcycle
To prepare the motorcycle for storage, begin by cleaning it as outlined beginning on page 144. Wax painted surfaces
and polish chromed and other metal surfaces. Apply protectant to exposed rubber, vinyl, and plastic parts.
Do not apply rubber protectant to the tire tread surfaces.
Caution
Fuel Stabilizer
1. Using a mixture of fuel and the recommended amount of VICTORY Premium Carbon Clean Plus or other
gasoline stabilizer, fill the fuel tank only to the top of the filler insert.
2. Ride the motorcycle or start and run the engine for 15 minutes in a well ventilated area to pass the stabilized
fuel through entire fuel-injection system.
Engine Component Protection
1. Change the engine oil (see page 88). You don’t 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.
