Park and Cover the Motorcycle

  1. Park the motorcycle in its storage location. Block the frame to take some of the weight off the front and rear wheels.
    NOTICE
    Starting the motorcycle periodically during storage is NOT recommended. Water vapor is a by-product of the combustion process, and corrosion may result unless the engine is operated long enough to bring the oil and exhaust system to normal operating temperature.
  2. Secure a plastic bag over the (cooled) exhaust outlets to prevent moisture from entering the exhaust system.
  3. Cover the motorcycle with a cover made from a durable, breathable material designed for storage. Covering the motorcycle helps protect it from dust and other airborne materials. The cover must be of a breathable material to prevent moisture from building up on the motorcycle which can cause oxidation of metal surfaces.
