Cleaning
1- Preparation for cleaning
Before cleaning the motorcycle must be prepared so that water does
not penetrate certain areas of the bike.
The exhaust:
Once this is cold, cover it with a plastic bag attached
with rubber.
Clutch and brake levers, grips and stop button:
cover with a
plastic bag.
Air filter intake:
cover this with insulation tape or a cloth.
2- Where to be careful
Avoid spraying water with any great force near the following
places:
Disc brake master cylinders and callipers; under the fuel
tank (If water gets into the ignition coil or into the spark plug cap, the
spark will jump through the water and be grounded out; the affected
parts must be dried).
Front and rear hubs.
Steering pivots (steering tube).
Rear suspension system.
Swing arm pivots.
3- After cleaning
- Remove the plastic bags and clean the air filter intake.
- Lubricate the locations listed in the lubrication section.
- Start the engine and let it heat for 5 minutes.
- Check the brakes before driving the bike.
WARNING
Never wax or lubricate the brake disk, this could lead to brake failure
and could provoke an accident. Clean the disk using trichloroethylene
or acetone.
