Inspections
The initial inspection of your bike is due after the
first 5–15 hours of use or 100–300 kilometres/
60–185 miles, as the cables, for example, may
have elongated during this time, which may affect
shifting accuracy.
It is recommended that you have performed the initial
inspection by your bike specialist.
After this initial period of use, you should have
your bike checked by a bike specialist at regular
intervals. The type of use and weather conditions
influences the frequency of maintenance intervals.
Care instructions
External influences such as dirt and salt from both
winter road maintenance and from sweat may corrode
your bike, the paint and the bike parts. You should
clean all parts regularly for this reason.
Use a low pressure water jet or a bucket of water
with a sponge to clean your bike. Cleaning your bike
by hand will help you detect damage to the paint,
worn parts or other defects early on.
After cleaning your bike, you should always lubricate
the chain and check the condition of exposed cables.
Only use approved original Porsche spare parts
when replacing brake components. Contact the
Porsche Bike hotline for more information on Porsche
original spare parts. Consult the Maintenance and
service plan on p. 76.
Improper inspections and repairs.
Many inspec-
tions and repairs should be performed by specialists
and require special tools and expertise. Improper
maintenance and adjustments may cause bike
components to fail. Do not attempt to perform tasks
if you lack the required expertise and corresponding
tools such as a torque wrench.
Cracks, scratches, bent parts.
Cracks, scratches,
bent parts and other defects are indicative of damage
due to fatigue and wear. The part may suddenly fail.
When cleaning, look for damaged parts and immedi-
ately replace them. If in doubt, contact the Porsche
Bike hotline.
Risk of damage due to corrosion.
Immediately
repair any damage to the paint
Risk of damage to the chain if immersed in
cleaning solvent. This removes the grease in
the chain wheel.
Do not immerse the chain in cleaning
solvent.
Degreasers containing acetone, methyl chloride
etc. and cleaners containing solvents or
chemicals or which are not neutral may damage
the paint.
Remove oil and grease from painted
surfaces with a petroleum-based cleaner.
Improper cleaning poses a risk of damage
to the bike. Cleaning the bike with a pressure
washer or steam blaster may cause water
to penetrate the bearing seal and damage the
bearings.
Do not use any pressure washers or steam
blasters.
Brake function.
Contamination e.g. with care
products or chain oil on the brake discs and brake
pads may negatively effect the function of the brakes.
Do not apply any care products or chain oil to the brake
pads and brake discs.
