Protective treatment for winter operation
Info
If you use the motorcycle in winter, you must expect salt on the roads. You should therefore take precautions against aggressive
road salt.
If the vehicle was operated in road salt, clean it with cold water. Warm water would enhance the corrosive effects of salt.

Clean the motorcycle. ( p. 168)
–
Treat the engine, the swingarm, and all other bare or galvanized parts (except brake
discs) with a wax-based anti-corrosion substance.
Info
To prevent serious reduction of the braking efficiency, make sure no
anti-corrosion substance gets on to the brake discs.
After riding on salted roads, thoroughly wash the motorcycle with cold water and
dry it well.
