B. STORAGE

Long term storage (60 days or more) of your

machine will require some preventive proce-

dures to guard against deterioration. After

thoroughly cleaning the machine, prepare for

storage as follows:

1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add

the specified amount of Yamaha Fuel

Stabilizer and Conditioner or an equiva-

lent product.

NOTE:

Use of fuel stabilizer and conditioner elimi-

nates the need to drain the fuel system. Con-

sult a Yamaha dealer if the fuel system needs

to be drained instead.

2. Remove the spark plug, pour about one

tablespoon of SAE 10W30 or 20W40

motor oil in the spark plug hole and rein-

stall the spark plug. Ground the spark

plug wire and turn the engine over seve-

ral times to coat the cylinder wall with oil.

3. Lubricate all control cables.

4. Block up the frame to raise all wheels off

the ground.

5. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe

outlet to prevent moisture from entering.

6. If storing in a humid or salt-air atmo-

sphere, coat all exposed metal surfaces

with a light film of oil. Do not apply oil to

any rubber parts or the seat cover.

Specified amount:

1 oz of stabilizer to each gallon of fuel 

(or 7.5 cc of stabilizer to each liter of 

fuel)
