We recommend you follow these basic prevention measures to make sure that the bicycle is in perfect working
order. Failure to observe these recommendations may lead to premature wear or even breakages in specific areas,
such as gaskets or moving parts.
•
Clean the dust and mud with a damp sponge and a gentle and neutral cleaning product.
•
Plastic parts must only be washed with soapy water.
•
Tyres can be washed with a sponge or brush and soapy water.
•
After cleaning the bicycle, dry it by rubbing it firmly with a smooth cloth.
•
After each cleaning, lubricate the transmission elements.
Dirt may cause damage that can result in accidents or even death.
Never use pressure washers or steam cleaners.
Do not ride your bicycle if it does not meet any of these points! A faulty bicycle may cause serious accidents!
If you are unsure or have any queries, please contact your nearest BH workshop!
Check the tightening torques to make sure that they are as described in the recommendations in the user
manuals. Failure to observe these recommendations may result in accidents and even death.
The effect of the ground and the forces exerted on the wheel subject the bicycle to a lot of stress. The different
parts will be subject to fatigue and wear because of these dynamic loads. Check the bicycle at regular
intervals to look for signs of wear, scratches, bent parts, wear on the finish or the formation of cracks.
Parts may fail suddenly after their service life has expired. Take your bicycle to an authorised BH workshop
regularly to have these parts replaced if needed.

After washing the bicycle, the chain transmission's lubrication may have also been washed off. Inspect and lubricate
the chain's links, if needed. Excess lubrication may attract more dirt, causing premature wear and incorrect functioning
of the system.
Never use pressure washers or steam cleaners.

The bicycle requires regular maintenance and a minimum number of regular inspections. The frequency of the
maintenance operations depends on the type of vehicle (leisure, road or mountain bike), as well as the frequency and
conditions of use.
