Cleaning
To prolong the life of your scooter it should be washed
periodically. Regular cleaning, using correct methods,
is an important factor in maintaining the value of your
scooter. It also ensures that safety-relevant parts
remain in full working order.
CAUTION:
After cleaning and before starting your
journey, always test the brakes.
A scooter that is constantly parked outdoors must be
covered with a protective covering in order to prevent
weathering of painted panels and to prevent cracking of
seats and other plastic parts.
If tar, bugs, or other similar deposits have accumulated,
wash them off as soon as possible. Do not use an
insect sponge as this can result in scratches. Do
not use high pressure or steam cleaners; they can
cause water intrusion of bearing, seals, and electrical
components. Avoid spraying water of great force
around the instrument clusters, key switch and master
cylinders. Avoid using strong acidic wheel cleaners. If
such products are used on hard-to-remove dirt, do not
leave the cleaner on the affected area any longer than
instructed.
Also, thoroughly rinse the area off with water,
immediately dry it, and then apply a corrosion
protection spray.
WARNING:
Improper cleaning can damage electrical
components, cowlings, panels, and other plastic parts.
Use only a soft, clean cloth or sponge with mild
detergent and water to clean plastic.
Check for damage to painted surfaces. If any damage
is found, repair the surface with touch up paint.
