Storage - Benelli TRK 502 Manual Del Propietário

WARNING
Contaminants on the brakes or tires can
cause loss of control.
• Make sure that there is no oil or wax
on the brakes or tires.
• If necessary, clean the brake discs and
brake linings with a regular brake disc
cleaner or acetone, and wash the tires
with warm water and a mild deter-
gent. Before riding at higher speeds,
test the motorcycle's braking perfor-
mance and cornering behavior.
NOTICE
• Apply spray oil and wax sparingly and
make sure to wipe off any excess.
• Never apply oil or wax to any rubber
and plastic parts, but treat them with
a suitable care product.
• Avoid using abrasive polishing com-
pounds as they will wear away the
paint.
TIP
• Consult a Benelli dealer for advice on
what products to use.
• Washing, rainy weather or humid clima-
tes can cause the headlight lens to fog.
Turning the headlight on for a short pe-
riod of time will help remove the moistu-
re from the lens.

Motorcycle care and storage

Storage

Short-term
Always store your motorcycle in a cool, dry
place and, if necessary, protect it against dust
with a porous cover. Be sure the engine and
the exhaust system are cool before covering
the motorcycle.
NOTICE
• Storing the motorcycle in a poorly
ventilated room or covering it with a
tarp, while it is still wet, will allow wa-
ter and humidity to seep in and cause
rust.
• To prevent corrosion, avoid damp cel-
lars, stables (because of the presence
of ammonia) and areas where strong
chemicals are stored.
