Storage
If the motocycle is stored for several months, such as during the winter season, there are precautions to be taken to protect 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.
