For additional information, refer to DRIVE BELT AND REAR WHEEL subsection. – Leaks: Look under the vehicle for any leaks. – Brake pedal: Press and make sure you feel firm resistance. Pedal must fully return when released. – Throttle handle: Twist a few times. Be sure it operates freely and returns to idle position when released. – Clutch lever (SM5 model): Squeeze to be sure it operates easily and fully returns when released. Adjust if needed. Refer to CLUTCH (SM5) subsection. – Clutch oil level (SM5 model): Check clutch fluid level. Refer to CLUTCH (SM5) subsection. – Gearshift selector (SE5 model): Be sure gearshift selector operates normally in both di- rections and returns to center when released. Turn ignition key ON: 1. Check the gauges, indicator lamps, and mes- sages on the multifunction gauge cluster. 2. Ensure headlights, taillight, brake light, turn sig- nals, and hazards are working properly. 3. Ensure horn is working properly. 4. Start engine and verify steering operates freely. 5. Check that the engine stop button is working properly. 6. Start engine, release parking brake and ensure parking brake indicator is off on the multifunction gauge cluster. 7. Drive forward slowly a few feet then apply brake to test. VEHICLE NOT PREPARED AS PER STORAGE PROCEDURE Proceed with the same steps as specified in VE- HICLES PREPARED AS PER STORAGE PROCE- DURE above. Carry out these additional steps: – Check the level of engine coolant. Refer to COOLING SYSTEM subsection. – Check the brake fluid level.

Subsection 02 (STORAGE PROCEDURE) STORAGE PROCEDURE SERVICE PRODUCTS Description Part Number Page LONG LIFE ANTIFREEZE .............................................................. 219 702 685 ........................................... 1 XPS FUEL STABILIZER.................................................................. 413 408 601 ........................................... 1 XPS ROADSTER WASH ................................................................ 219 701 703 ........................................... 2 XPS STORAGE OIL (EXCEPT U.S. COUNTRY) ............................. 413 711 600 ........................................... 1 XPS STORAGE OIL (U.S. COUNTRY ONLY) ................................. 413 711 900 ........................................... 1 GENERAL If the vehicle is not ridden for at least 4 months, such as during the winter, proper storage is necessary to keep the vehicle in good condition. PROCEDURES FUEL SYSTEM Fuel System Protection With the new fuel additives, it is critical to use the XPS FUEL STABILIZER (P/N 413 408 601) or an equiv- alent to prevent fuel deterioration and fuel system gumming. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper use. Pour fuel stabilizer in fuel tank. Fill up fuel tank. NOTICE Engine should be run after fuel stabilizer is added to ensure fuel system components protection against varnish deposits. Do not drain fuel system. ENGINE Engine Oil and Filter Replacement Change engine oil and filter. Refer to LUBRICA- TION SYSTEM subsection. Engine Internal Lubrication Engine internal parts should be lubricated to pro- tect them from rust formation during the storage period. Proceed as follows: 1. Remove air filter housing cover. Refer to AIR INTAKE SYSTEM subsection. 2. Spray XPS STORAGE OIL (EXCEPT U.S. COUN- TRY) (P/N 413 711 600) or XPS STORAGE OIL (U.S. COUNTRY ONLY) (P/N 413 711 900) into throttle body (5 seconds in each openings) while crank- ing in drowned mode (throttle wide open and depress start button). 3. Reinstall air filter housing cover. NOTE: Do not run engine during storage period. CLUTCH SYSTEM (SM6) Clutch Fluid Level Inspection Check clutch fluid level. Refill if necessary. COOLING SYSTEM Coolant Inspection Check coolant level. Test coolant density using an antifreeze hydrome- ter. NOTE: Follow manufacturer's instructions for proper use. Use LONG LIFE ANTIFREEZE (P/N 219 702 685) or a blend of 50% antifreeze with 50% distilled water to provide the optimum cooling, corrosion protection and antifreeze protection. NOTICE Do not use tap water, straight antifreeze or straight water in the system. Tap water contains minerals and impurities which build up in the system. Straight water will cause the system to freeze while straight antifreeze will cause system temperature prob- lems. Change coolant if necessary. Refer to COOLING SYSTEM subsection. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Battery Charging Slow charge the battery once a month at the recommended charging rate of 2 A. It is not necessary to remove the battery. rmr2014-007 1

Subsection 02 (STORAGE PROCEDURE) WHEELS AND TIRES Tire Pressure Inflate all tires to their recommended pressure. BRAKE SYSTEM Brake Fluid Level Inspection Check brake fluid level. Refill if necessary. Brake System Lubrication Clean and lubricate mechanism of parking brake. Lubricate parking brake cable. Lubricate pivoting point of brake pedal. SUSPENSION Suspension Lubrication Lubricate front suspension arms. Refer to FRONT SUSPENSION subsection. VEHICLE Vehicle Cleaning To clean the vehicle, do not use high-pressure washers (like the ones found in car washes) as they may damage certain parts of the vehicle. NOTICE Do not clean the windshield with al- kaline or acid cleaner, gasoline or solvent to avoid windshield damage. NOTICE For Matte finishes, do not use wax, detail spray, or other products used on regular paint. Do not wash with abrasive materials. Do not use mechanical cleaners or polishers, and do not rub the surfaces vigorously. To clean the vehicle: 1. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with water to remove loose dirt. 2. Using a soft, clean cloth, wash the vehicle with water mixed with a mild detergent, such as soap specially formulated for motorcycles or automobiles. NOTE: Using warm water works well to remove bugs in the windshield and front panels. NOTE: For Matte finishes, hand-wash with a soft wash mitt and a mild cleaning product safe for matte paint. To remove foreign substances such as insects, use a soft applicator and a mild solvent. Saturate and soak area before cleaning. Rub lightly. 3. While washing the vehicle, check for grease or oil. You can use XPS ROADSTER WASH (P/N 219 701 703) or a mild automotive degreaser. Thor- oughly follow the manufacturer's instructions. 4. Dry the vehicle with a chamois or a soft towel. Vehicle Waxing Apply non-abrasive wax to plastic parts. NOTICE Do not wax or polish matte surfaces. SURFACE PRODUCT/PRECAUTION Glossy finishes Apply only non-abrasive wax, safe for clear coat paints Matte finishes Do not apply wax NOTICE Do not polish windshield with any plastic cleaner/polisher. WARNING Do not apply a vinyl or plastic protector on the seat as the surface will become slippery and the operator or the passenger may slip off the vehicle. Vehicle Protection Touch up all metal spots where paint has been scratched off. Install a plastic bag over muffler outlet to prevent moisture from entering it. Cover the vehicle with a permeable material. Avoid using plastic or similar non-breathing, coated materials that restrict air flow and allow heat and moisture to accumulate. Store vehicle in a dry unheated area, away from sunlight, with a small amount of daily temperature variation. 2 rmr2014-007
