APPENDIX

LONG PERIOD OF INACTIVITY
When the motorcycle is to be stored for a certain
period, it should be prepared for storage as follows.
Clean the entire motorcycle thoroughly.
-
Drain all fuel from the tank.
-
Fill the tank with fuel added with a stabiliser.
-
Lubricate the final drive chain and all the wirings and
-
hoses.
Set the motorcycle on a support or stand so that
-
both wheels are raised off the ground (if this cannot
be done, put boards under the wheels to keep
moisture away from the tyres).
Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe to prevent
-
moisture from entering.
Disassemble the battery and, if possible, connect it
-
to a maintainer. Furthermore, please note that each
type of battery, if not connected to the vehicle, is
subject to a physiological discharge that becomes
irreversible if not cyclically recharged.
Put a cover over the motorcycle to keep dust and dirt
-
from collecting on it.
WARNING
Never release fuel into the environment,
and never let the engine run indoors - only
outdoors.
To reactivate the motorcycle after storage, proceed as
follows:
make sure the spark plug is tightened;
-
fill the fuel tank;
-
run the engine to warm the oil up then drain the oil;
-
refill with fresh oil;
-
check all the points listed under the section "Checks
-
and Adjustments" (Appendix A);
lubricate all the points listed under the section
-
"Lubrication" (Appendix A).
