Cleaning and Storage

Park and Cover the Motorcycle

Park the motorcycle in its storage location. Cover it with a genuine VICTORY motorcycle

cover, or a cover made from a durable, breathable material designed for storage. Covering

the motorcycle helps protect it from dust and other airborne materials. The cover must be of

a breathable material to prevent moisture from building up on the motorcycle which can

cause oxidation of metal surfaces.

Rodents

Mice and other rodents are often the worst enemy of a stored motorcycle. If the motorcycle

will be stored in an area where mice are a concern (particularly in rural areas, barns, sheds,

etc.) be sure to take extra measures to deter their infestation. This may include placing a

screen mesh over any intake or exhaust openings (just be sure to remember to remove them

when you take the motorcycle from storage).

Maintenance During Storage

During extended storage periods, maintain tire pressure and battery voltage at the recom-

mended levels.
