17. Cleaning the Motorcycle
To keep the body and paint in good condition, wash your motorcycle
often.
The best way to clean your motorcycle is to use warm water combined
with detergent to remove the dirt.
Attention:
Do not use high-pressure water to wash the motorcycle.
Do not point water spray directly at electrical parts, plugs, cables,
bearings, ECU, etc. High pressure water sources will cause water to
enter into secure parts leading to functional failure and premature aging.
-Use ordinary detergent brands to clean your motorcycle. For the most
difficult areas use a brush to clean.
-Plug the muffler before cleaning, to prevent water from getting inside
the muffler.
-After washing, dry off the motorcycle. Ride for a distance until the
engine has reached a working temperature; meanwhile apply the brake
to evaporate the water left inside.
-Since the motorcycle cools down, please grease all the sliding parts,
bearings and oil plug with lubricating oil.
-Protect your electric system to avoid any foreign materials entering.
When washing the motorcycle, please remove the air cleaner cover and
filter and use foam or cotton to protect the intake channel.
When washing, block the muffler to avoid water getting into the muffler
and engine.
18. Maintenance Prior to Storage
If the motorcycle will be stored for a long period of time, pay attention to
the prevention of moisture, sunshine and rain in order to protect it from
unnecessary damage. Special check- ups should be carried out on
those important parts and sub- assemblies before storage.

Drain the fuel if possible, use fuel stabilizer if draining fuel tank is
not possible.
