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.
