Cleaning
To prolong the life of your motorcycle it should be
washed periodically. Regular cleaning, using correct
methods, is an important factor in maintaining the
value of your Zero motorcycle. It also ensures that
safety-relevant parts remain in full working order.
CAUTION: After cleaning and before starting on your
journey, always test the brakes.
If tar, bugs, or other similar deposits have
accumulated, wash them off as soon as possible. Do
not use steam cleaners; they can cause water
intrusion of bearing, seals and electrical components.
When using pressure washers, avoid spraying water
of great force around the instrument panel or
controller. Avoid using strong acidic wheel cleaners,
especially on spoked wheels. If such products are
used on hard to remove dirt, do not leave the cleaner
on the affected area any longer than instructed.
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.
