5.17 CLEANING
To keep each part of your vehicle in perfect working
order, we advise you to clean it properly.
Before cleaning, protect the exhaust pipe and make
sure that the spark plug and the fuel and oil tank
caps are properly closed.
For cleaning, never use chemical products, which
may spoil the vehicle paintwork, plastic and rubber
components, etc.
Avoid using aggressive solvents, which can oxidise
metal parts.
An excessive water pressure while cleaning the
vehicle may damage its mechanical and electrical
components, especially those on the front side of the
vehicle (handlebar, upper fairing, instrument board,
lights, etc.).
Avoid high pressure washing, for instance pressurised
washing appliances and the like.
While cleaning the vehicle, make sure that the
cooling surface, situated at the back of the front
wheel, is not clogged by mud, paper, leaves, etc. In
the presence of dirt, clean with a jet of water or air
at a moderate pressure ( )
