7. Once you are finished cleaning the bike remove the covers from the intake and the
exhaust. Start the engine and let it idle a few minutes.
Avoid the use of high pressure washers, the water can enter the bearings,
the steering housing, etc. and cause severe damage.
Use a detergent specifically designed to wash automobiles or motorcycles,
this will eliminate the possibility of damage to the tires.
Before storing the vehicle for a prolonged period (more than two months), it is
recommended that you follow these instructions:
1. Wash the motorcycle as described above.
2. Drain the fuel tank.

engine doing several impulsions with electric starter, this will cover the internal sur
faces of the cylinder with oil. Replace the spark plug.

5. Lift the motorcycle in order that the wheels leave the ground.
6. Cover the exhaust exit with a piece of plastic to keep moisture from entering the engi-
ne.
