Storage
If the motocycle is stored for several months, such as during the winter season, there are precautions to be taken to pro-tect parts against corrosion, to preserve the battery and to prevent the build-up of gum and varnish in the carburator. This work should be performed by your local harley-davidson dealer or other qualified mechanic following service manual procedures.
1. Operate vehicle until engine is at normal operating temperature. Drain and flush the oil tank. Install a new oil filter and fill oil tank with the proper grade oil. Check the transmission lubricant level.
