Maintenance and Adjustment
Seat Care
To help maintain its appearance, clean the
seat using a sponge or cleaning cloth with
soap and water.
After Washing
• Remove the rubber bands, plastic
bags and tape, and clear the air
intakes.
• Lubricate the pivots, bolts and nuts.
• Test the brakes before motorcycle
operation.
• Start the engine and run it for
5 minutes. Ensure adequate
ventilation for the exhaust fumes.
• Use a dry cloth to absorb water
residue. Do not allow water to stand
on the machine as this will lead to
corrosion.
Unpainted Aluminum Items
• Items such as brake and clutch
levers, wheels, engine covers, top
and bottom yokes on some models
must be correctly cleaned to
preserve their appearance. Please
contact your dealer if you are unsure
which components on your
motorcycle are unpainted aluminum
parts.
• Use a proprietary brand of
aluminum cleaner which does not
contain abrasive or caustic elements.
• Clean aluminum items regularly, in
particular after use in inclement
weather, where the components
must be hand washed and dried
each time the machine is used.
• Warranty claims due to inadequate
maintenance will not be allowed.
Caution
Use of chemicals or high-pressure spray
washers is not recommended for cleaning
the seat. When using chemicals or pressure
washers the seat cover may get damaged.
Warning
Never wax or lubricate the brake discs.
Loss of braking power and an accident
could result. Clean the disc with a
proprietary brand of oil-free brake disc
cleaner.
