a soft sponge and generous

motorcycle cleaner from the

range. This is particularly

important to counter the

effects of road salt.

For an additional treatment, use

BMW Motorrad metal polish.

Clean the radiator regularly to

prevent overheating of the en-

gine due to inadequate cooling.

For example, use a garden

Take care not to bend the

radiator fins when cleaning.

Damage to the rubber seals

Do not use silicone sprays

or care products that con-

tain silicon.

CARE OF PAINTWORK

Washing the vehicle regularly

will help counteract the long-

term effects of substances that

can damage the paint, espe-

cially if your vehicle is ridden in

areas with high air pollution or

natural sources of dirt, for ex-

ample tree resin or pollen.
