Storing Your Honda
If you won’t be riding for an extended period, such as during the winter,
thoroughly inspect your motorcycle and correct any problem before storing it.
That way, needed repairs won’t be forgotten and it will be easier to get your
motorcycle running again.
For more information about storage, refer to the Honda Winter Storage Guide,
available from your dealer (USA only).
We suggest you perform the following procedures to keep your motorcycle in
top condition. These storage procedures will reduce the deterioration that can
occur during storage.

(page 146).
3. Fill the fuel tank. Make sure the fuel fill cap is properly installed.
