Maintenance of the motorcycle
Regular cleaning and polishing can ensure that your motorcycle
has a long service life. A clean motorcycle makes it easier to detect
potential faults.
Particular attention shall be paid to the fact that anti-icing seawater
and salt applied on roads can accelerate corrosion.
Be sure to completely clean your motorcycle after riding on the on
roads that have been treated with the above methods.
●
Cleaning
Wait for the motor, brakes and other hot parts to cool before cleaning.
1
Completely rinse the motorcycle with water from a hose to remove
loose dirt.
2
If necessary, remove dust and dirt on its surface with a sponge or soft
towel dipped in a neutral detergent.
●
Take special care when cleaning headlight lenses, panels and other
plastic components to prevent scratching. Prevent water from enter-
ing electrical components.
3
Completely rinse the motorcycle with plenty of clean water and wipe it
with a clean and soft cloth.
4
Afterwards, lubricate all moving parts.
●
Make sure no lubricant spills over on any brakes or tires. The braking
performance of oil-contaminated brake discs and pads will be greatly
reduced, and may cause an accident.
5
Apply a layer of wax on plastic exterior parts to avoid corrosion.
●
Avoid using products that contain strong degreasers or chemical
solvents. These substances can damage the metal parts, paint layer
and plastic parts of your motorcycle.
●
Do not wax tires and brakes.
●
If your motorcycle is equipped with parts with the matte finish, do not
wax the matte finish.
●
Precautions for cleaning
Follow the following guidelines when cleaning:
– Do not use high-pressure water guns:
High-pressure water guns can damage moving parts as well as
electrical parts.
– Dry brakes:
Water on brakes can reduce braking performance. After clean-
ing, riding at a low speed and using the brakes at intervals will
help dry them.
– Do not clean the power battery or power battery box in water or
with detergents.
This may lead to a starting fault and malfunction.
– Do not directly flush the part below the saddle with water:
If water enters the saddle compartment, it may damage your
documents and other items.
