Storage
28.1
Info
If you plan to garage the motorcycle for a longer period, perform the following steps or have them performed.
Before storing the motorcycle, check all parts for function and wear. If service, repairs, or replacements are necessary, you
should do this during the storage period (less workshop overload). In this way, you can avoid long workshop waiting times at
the start of the new season.
I
When refueling for the last time before taking the motorcycle out of service, add
fuel additive.
Info
The fuel additive stabilities the fuel for longer storage and makes starting
easier next time.

Info
Husqvarna Motorcycles recommends raising the motorcycle.
I
Raise the motorcycle with a lift stand. (83 p. 11)
Cover the vehicle with a tarp or similar cover that is permeable to air.
Info
Do not use non-porous materials since they prevent humidity from escap
ing, thus causing corrosion.
Avoid running the engine for a short time only. Since the engine cannot
warm up properly, the water vapor produced during combustion con
denses and causes valves and the exhaust system to rust.
