Book Excerpt: 2003-2006 Honda CBR600RR Repair Manual STORAGE

Several months of non-use can cause a general deterioration of the motorcycle. This is especially true in areas of extreme temperature variations. This deterioration can be minimized with careful preparation for storage. A properly stored vehicle is much easier to return to service. STORAGE AREA SELECTION When selecting a storage area, consider the following:

1. The storage area must be dry. A heated area is best, but not necessary. It should be insulated to minimize extreme temperature variations.
2. If the building has large window areas, mask them to keep sunlight off the motorcycle.
3. Avoid buildings in industrial areas where corrosive emissions may be present. Avoid areas close to saltwater.
4. Consider the area's risk of fire, theft or vandalism. Check with an insurer regarding coverage while in storage.

PREPARING THE MOTORCYCLE FOR STORAGE The amount of preparation a motorcycle should undergo before storage depends on the expected length of non-use, storage area conditions and personal preference. Consider the following list the minimum requirement.

REAR SUSPENSION: SHOCK ABSORBER

REBOUND DAMPING ADJUSTMENT CAUTION: Do not turn the rebound damping adjuster past the point where it stops at its full clockwise or counterclockwise positions. Doing so damages the adjuster screw and requires shock absorber replacement. The rear shock absorber is equipped with a rebound damping adjuster on the bottom right side of the shock housing (B, Figure 20). Turn the rebound adjuster screw with a screwdriver.

1. To set the rebound damping adjuster to the standard position:
1. Turn the rebound adjuster clockwise until it stops. This is the full hard position.
2. Turn the adjuster counterclockwise approximately 1 3/4 turns so the punch mark on the adjuster aligns with the punch mark on the shock body. The rebound adjuster is not set at its standard position.


2. To reduce the rebound damping adjustment, turn the adjuster counterclockwise toward its S (soft) mark on the shock housing.
