served.

gloss polish or agents contain-
ing carnauba wax or synthetic

LAYING UP MOTORCYCLE

visable to use fuel additives

with low-grade fuel or if the
vehicle is to be out of use for
a lengthy period of time. More
information is available from
your authorised BMW Motorrad
retailer.
Clean the motorcycle.
Remove the battery.
Spray the brake and clutch
lever pivots and the side
stand pivot mounts with a
suitable lubricant.
Coat bright metal and
chrome-plated parts with
an acid-free grease (e.g.
Vaseline).
Stand the motorcycle in a dry
room in such a way that there
is no load on either wheel
(preferably using the front-
wheel and rear-wheel stands
from BMW Motorrad).

coating.
