CLEANING AND STORAGE

After Washing
Warning
Never wax or lubricate the brake discs.
Always clean the brake disc with a
proprietary brand of oil-free brake disc
cleaner.
Waxed or lubricated brake discs may
cause loss of braking power and an
accident.
After washing the motorcycle, do the
following:
▼ Remove the plastic bags and tape,
and clear the air intakes.
▼ Lubricate the pivots, bolts and nuts.
▼
Test the brakes before motorcycle
operation.
▼
Use a dry cloth or chamois leather to
absorb water residue. Do not allow
water to stand on the motorcycle as
this will lead to corrosion.
▼
Start the engine and run it for 5
minutes. Make sure that there is
adequate ventilation for the exhaust
fumes.
Gloss Paintwork Care
Gloss paintwork should be washed and
dried as described previously, then
protected
using a high quality
automotive polish. Always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions and repeat
regularly to maintain your motorcycle’s
appearance.
Matt Paintwork Care
Matt paintwork requires no greater care
than that already recommended for
gloss paintwork.
▼ Do not use any polish or wax on
matt paintwork.
▼ Do not try and polish out scratches.
Aluminum Items - not
Lacquered or Painted
Items such as brake and clutch levers,
wheels, engine covers, engine cooling
fins, upper and lower yokes and throttle
bodies 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 aluminum parts not
protected by paint or lacquer, and for
guidance on how to clean those items.
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.
