Store the battery in a dry area with a temperature of 32° to 90° F (0° to 32° C). 5. While in storage, fully charge the battery monthly. If the motorcycle will not be used for a period of six months or longer, a maintenance charger should be connected to the battery. See page 76. Motorcycle Covers Cover the motorcycle with a genuine VICTORY motorcycle cover or a cover made from a durable, breathable material designed for storage. The cover must be of a breathable material to prevent moisture build-up, which can cause oxidation of metal surfaces. Protection from Rodents If the motorcycle will be stored in an area where mice are a concern (rural areas, barns, sheds, etc.), take extra measures to deter infestation. This may include placing a screen mesh over any intake or exhaust openings. 88
