Yamaha MT-03 - Owner's Manual > Storage

Short-term

Always store your motorcycle in a cool, dry place and, if necessary, protect it against dust with a porous cover.

CAUTION:

• 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:

1. Follow all the instructions in the "Care" section of this chapter.

2. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel stabilizer (if available) to prevent the fuel tank from rusting and the fuel from deteriorating.

3. Perform the following steps to protect the cylinder, piston rings, etc. from corrosion.

1. Remove the spark plug cap and spark plug.
2. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil into the spark plug bore.
3. 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.)
4. Turn the engine over several times with the starter. (This will coat the cylinder wall with oil.)
5. 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.

4. Lubricate all control cables and the pivoting points of all levers and pedals as well as of the sidestand/ centerstand.

5. 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.

6. Cover the muffler outlets with plastic bags to prevent moisture from entering them.

7. 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 ºC (30 ºF) or more than 30 ºC (90 ºF) ]. For more information on storing the battery.

NOTE: Make any necessary repairs before storing the motorcycle.
