If the motorcycle will not be operated for several months, take steps to protect the motorcycle. Always protect parts against corrosion and check the battery State of Charge (SOC) before storage. See Charging Motorcycle in the owner's manual.

Make a list of everything you do and fasten it to a handlebar grip. When you take the motorcycle out of storage, this list is your reference/checklist to get your motorcycle in operating condition.

1.	Check and fill the cooling system. See Cooling System → COOLANT.
2.	To protect the body panels, engine, chassis and wheels from corrosion, follow the cosmetic care procedures before storage. See Cleaning and General Care in the owner's manual.
3.	Cover the motorcycle with a material such as light canvas that breathes. Plastic materials that do not breathe promote condensation and corrosion.

Refer to SECURITY SYSTEM in the owner's manual for setting state of security system.

Refer to Maintenance → INSPECT BATTERY for 12 V battery removal.

Length of Storage	Storage Procedure
Less than 30 days	Plug the bike into the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE). Arm the security system.
Longer than 30 days	Ensure the Rechargeable Energy Storage System (RESS)State of Charge (SOC) is between 30–70% before a 30 days or longer storage event. Arm the security system. Monitor the SOC and ensure it does not dip below 30%. Recharge if necessary.
