Chain lubrication
Before lubricating the chain, it must be cleaned. Use
special solvents and do not use steam jet cleaners which
are too powerful. Dry the chain using compressed air or
absorbent material, then lubricate it.
For the type of spray to use refer to the Liquids
table. The use of non-specified lubricants may
damage the chain, sprocket and motor pinion.
General cleaning
Depending on the roads you will be riding on,
the motorcycle must be washed and cleaned
periodically to preserve the brilliance of the metal
and painted surfaces.
Use specific products, where possible
biodegradable, avoiding detergents or solvents
which are too aggressive.
Use only water and mild soap to clean the fairings,
the seat and plastic parts.
Regularly clean aluminum components by hand.
For aluminum, use special detergents which do
NOT contain abrasive substances or caustic soda.
Use only soft cloths. Avoid the use of steel wool
and abrasive sponges.
Never direct hot water or high pressure jets towards the
motorcycle. The use of pressure washers may lead to
seizure of moving parts and serious faults affecting the
forks, wheel hubs, electrical system, headlamps (internal
condensation) and fork seals, resulting in loss of the safety
requirements for the motorcycle.
Use a degreasing product to clean any excessively dirty
parts of the motorcycle, avoiding contact with fairings,
seat, plastic parts and transmission components (chain,
front sprocket, rear sprocket, etc.).
Rinse the motorcycle with warm water and dry all its
surfaces with a chamois leather.
