CARE
Chrome
Carefully clean chrome parts
with plenty of water and
motorcycle cleaner from the
BMW Motorrad Care Products
range. This is particularly
important to counter the
effects of road salt.
For an additional treatment, use
BMW Motorrad metal polish.
Radiator
Clean the radiator regularly to
prevent overheating of the en-
gine due to inadequate cooling.
For example, use a garden
hose with low water pressure.
ATTENTION
Bending of radiator fins
Damage to radiator fins
Take care not to bend the
radiator fins when cleaning.
Rubber

water or BMW rubber-care
products.
ATTENTION

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.
Remove particularly aggressive
substances immediately, how-
ever, as otherwise the paint
can be affected or become
discoloured. Substances of
this nature include spilt fuel,
oil, grease, brake fluid and
bird droppings. For this, we
recommend BMW Motorrad
solvent cleaner followed by
BMW Motorrad gloss polish for
preservation.
