Yamaha YZF-R125 Owners Manual: Storage
Short-term
Always store your motorcycle in a cool,
dry place and, if necessary, protect it
against dust with a porous cover.
NOTICE
- Storing the motorcycle in a
poorly ventilated room or covering
it with a tarp, while it is still
wet, will allow water and humidity
to seep in and cause rust.
- To prevent corrosion, avoid
damp cellars, stables (because
of the presence of ammonia)
and areas where strong chemicals
are stored.
Long-term
Before storing your motorcycle for several
months:
- Follow all the instructions in the
"Care" section of this chapter.
- Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel
stabilizer (if available) to prevent
the fuel tank from rusting and the
fuel from deteriorating.
- Perform the following steps to protect
the cylinder, piston rings, etc.
from corrosion.
- Remove the spark plug cap
and spark plug.
- Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil
into the spark plug bore.
- Install the spark plug cap onto
the spark plug, and then place
the spark plug on the cylinder
head so that the electrodes are
grounded. (This will limit sparking
during the next step.)
- Turn the engine over several
times with the starter. (This will
coat the cylinder wall with oil.)
- Remove the spark plug cap
from the spark plug, and then
install the spark plug and the
spark plug cap. WARNING! To
prevent damage or injury
from sparking, make sure to
ground the spark plug electrodes
while turning the engine
over.
- Lubricate all control cables and the
pivoting points of all levers and
pedals as well as of the sidestand/
centerstand.
- Check and, if necessary, correct
the tire air pressure, and then lift
the motorcycle so that both of its
wheels are off the ground. Alternatively,
turn the wheels a little every
month in order to prevent the tires
from becoming degraded in one
spot.
- Cover the muffler outlet with a
plastic bag to prevent moisture
from entering it.
- Remove the battery and fully
charge it. Store it in a cool, dry
place and charge it once a month.
Do not store the battery in an excessively
cold or warm place [less
than 0 C (30 F) or more than 30
C (90 F)]. For more information
on storing the battery, see page
6-29.
TIP
Make any necessary repairs before
storing the motorcycle.
While the open design of a motorcycle
reveals the attractiveness of the technology,
it also makes it more vulnerable.
Rust and corrosion can develop
even if high-quality components are
used. ...
