Cleaning and Storage

Removal From Storage

1. Remove the cover and unlock the front

forks (if locked).

2. Verify that tire pressure is at

specification.

3. Install the battery and perform an

electrical inspection.

4. Check the oil level. If the motorcycle

was stored in an area subject to wide

swings in temperature and humidity

(such as outdoors), change the engine

oil before starting the engine.

NOTICE: During storage, temperature and

humidity changes can cause

condensation to form in the crankcase

and mix with engine oil. Running the

engine with oil that contains

condensation can cause engine

damage.

5. Inspect the storage area for signs of

fluid leaks. Identify and perform service

to any leaking components.

6. Install new spark plugs if necessary.
7. Wash and polish the motorcycle. Wax,

polish, or apply protectant to

appropriate components.

8. Perform the pre-ride inspections. See

page 87.

9. Perform a road test. See page 218.
