and electrical components. Only use clean fresh water or desalinated water. There are
many ways of washing a bike. A proven cleaning recommendation for a dirty bike is as
follows:
1/ With a gentle water jet, remove large items of debris such as soil, stones and sand etc.
2/ Let the bike dry off to a certain extent.
3/ Spray your entire bike with a suitable detergent.
4/ Rinse the entire bike with a gentle water jet and allow it to dry. 5/ Clean the chain (see
below for details).
NOTE:
If there is only a low level of soiling, simply spraying on a detergent and rinsing it
off after the specified time for them to work is sufficient.
NOTE:
Stubborn dirt which usually accumulates in the drivetrain area can be removed
with a stronger degreaser and brush.
WARNING:
Cleaning, lubrication and preserving agents are chemical products. Incorrect
use can damage your bike. Only use products expressly suitable for bikes. Ensure that
these products do not attack either paint, rubber, plastic or metal parts etc. Consult your
dealer and follow the respective manufacturers instructions.
Cleaning and lubricating the chain
NOTE:
Your chain should be cleaned and lubricated periodically - approximately once
every 10 rides, after every ride in wet conditions, and every time you wash your bike.
Drip a suitable chain cleaner into a clean, spirit-free cotton cloth and wipe the chain
down. When doing so, slowly operate the crank against the direction of drive. Repeat
this process a few times with a clean area of the cloth until the chain is clean. Sparingly
apply a lubricant suitable for bicycle chains to each chain link.
NOTE:
Only use lubricants expressly approved for use with bike chains. Greases for
motorcycle chains will gum up your bike chain and the drive chain components.
NOTE:
If cleaner remains between the chain links, the new grease will be immediately
broken down and will be totally ineffective.
