STORAGE
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. 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 83). 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.
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 page 120). Pour one tablespoon of clean motor oil into each spark plug hole.
4. Connect the spark plugs to the spark plug wires and ground the spark plugs to the engine. With the main switch
in the ON position, the stop/run switch set to RUN, and the transmission in neutral, press the electric starter
button to crank the engine a few times. This procedure inhibits corrosion by coating the cylinder walls with the
oil you poured in the spark plug holes.
5. Set the main switch to the OFF position and reinstall the spark plugs.
