Storing the motorcycle
If the motorcycle is to be left unused for a long period, it is
advisable to carry out the following operations first:
clean the motorcycle;
drain the fuel from fuel tank;
pour a few drops of engine oil into the cylinders through
the spark plug seats, then crank the engine by hand a few
E
times to form a protective film of oil on the cylinder inner
walls;
place the motorcycle on the paddock stand;
disconnect and remove the battery.
Battery should be checked and charged or replaced
whenever the motorcycle has been left unused for over a
month;
Protect the motorcycle with a special motorcycle cover
that will not damage the paintwork or retain moisture.
This type of motorcycle cover is available from Ducati
Performance.
