STORAGE GUIDE

Extended storage, such as for winter, requires that you take certain steps
to reduce the effects of deterioration from non-use of the motorcycle.
In addition, necessary repairs should be made BEFORE storing the motorcycle;
otherwise, these repairs may be forgotten by the time the motorcycle is
removed from storage.

   on blocks to raise both tyres off the ground.
8. Cover the motorcycle ( don’t use plastic or other coated materials ) and
   store in an unheated area, free of dampness with a minimum of daily temperature
   variation. Do not store the motorcycle in direct sunlight.
