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. Perform the pre-ride inspections. See page 34.
8. Perform a road test. See page 88.
9. Wash and polish the motorcycle. Wax, polish, or apply protectant to appropriate
components.
