SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE can cause loss of control. G Make sure that there is no oil or wax on the brakes or tires. If necessary, clean the brake discs and brake linings with a regular brake disc cleaner or acetone, and wash the tires with warm water and a mild detergent. G Before operating the scooter test its braking performance and cornering behavior. ECA10800 EAU36551 Storage Short-term Always store your scooter in a cool, dry place and, if necessary, protect it against dust with a porous cover. ECA10820 NOTICE G Apply spray oil and wax sparingly and make sure to wipe off any excess. G Never apply oil or wax to any rubber and plastic parts, but treat them with a suitable care product. G Avoid using abrasive polishing compounds as they will wear away the paint. TIP Consult a Yamaha dealer for advice on what products to use. NOTICE G Storing the scooter 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. G 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 scooter 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 8-3 fuel from deteriorating. 3. Perform the following steps to protect the cylinders, piston rings, etc. from corrosion. a. Remove the spark plug caps and the spark plugs. b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil into the spark plug bores. c. Install the spark plug caps onto the spark plugs, and then place the spark plugs on the cylinder head so that the electrodes are grounded. (This will limit sparking during the next step.) d. Turn the engine over several times with the starter. (This will coat the cylinder walls with oil.) e. Remove the spark plug caps from the spark plugs, and then install the spark plugs and the spark plug caps. WARNING! To prevent damage or injury from sparking, make sure to ground the spark plug electrodes while turning the engine over.[EWA10951] 4.
