How often must a motorcycle be started when left unused?
1 Answers
Motorcycles should be started approximately every 5 months when left unused. For long-term motorcycle storage, maintenance should focus on the following aspects: 1. Engine: During prolonged storage, engine oil will gradually settle in the oil pan, leaving components such as the cylinder head, piston, cylinder, and valve train exposed to air and susceptible to oxidation over time. Storage method: Start the motorcycle every half month to one month, let it idle until reaching operating temperature, then ride for 3 to 5 kilometers. 2. Carburetor and fuel tank: While gasoline will evaporate over time, certain residues remain in the carburetor, potentially clogging its passages completely with prolonged storage. Storage method: Drain all fuel from the carburetor through its drain hole.
