Storage Guide - Honda CBF500/A Manual Del Propietário

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.
STORAGE
1. Change the engine oil and filter.
2. Make sure the cooling system is filled with
a 50/50% antifreeze solution.
3. Empty the fuel tank into an approved petrol
container using a commercially available
hand siphon or an equivalent method.
Spray the inside of the tank with an aerosol
rust-inhibiting oil.
Reinstall the fuel fill cap on the tank.
If storage will last more than one month,
carburetor draining is very important, to
assure proper performance after storage
n WARNING
Petrol is highly flammable and explosive.
You can be burned or seriously injured
when handling fuel.
• Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks,
and flame away.
• Refuel only outdoors.
• Wipe up spills immediately.
