CLEANING
Clean your vehicle regularly. Your vehicle will
look better and work better if you keep it
clean. You will find you will need to clean it
more frequently if it is used in the following
conditions:
– Polluted areas (cities and industrial areas).
– Areas characterized by a high percentage
of salinity and humidity (sea areas,
hot and humid climates).
– Particular conditions (use of salt and
anti-ice chemical products on the roads
during the winter).
♦ Do not allow contaminants such as
industrial dust, tar spots, dead insects, bird
droppings, etc. to remain on the painted
portions of your vehicle. They will very
quickly etch into and damage the paint.
♦ Do not park your vehicle under trees, since
some trees ooze resins that contain
chemicals which can damage the paint.
WARNING
WARNING
CAUTION
Polish with silicone wax only after having
carefully washed your vehicle. Do not
wash the vehicle in direct sunlight,
especially during the summer, when the
paintwork is still warm, since if the sham-
poo dries before being rinsed away, it can
damage the paint.
Do not use solvents or water hotter than
40°C to clean the plastic components of
the vehicle.
Never use a high pressure washer, a
steam cleaner, or an air augmented water
jet to clean your vehicle, especially the
wheel hubs, handlebar controls, brake
reservoirs and cylinders, instruments,
electrical components or exhaust
silencer. Such cleaning machinery will
force water into critical portions of your
vehicle, which could damage your vehicle
through corrosion or short circuiting.
Do not use alcohol or other solvents to
clean the rubber or plastic parts, or the
seat, use only clear water with a mild
soap.
Do not apply any protective coating to the
seat, such coatings tend to make the seat
too slippery.
After your vehicle has been washed, the
brake functioning will be temporarily
impaired because of the wetness of the
discs and pads. Do not ride in traffic until
after you have dried the brakes by
repeated braking from slow speed.
Always after washing your vehicle, carry
out the preliminary checking operation,
see p. 46 (PRELIMINARY CHECKING
OPERATIONS).
To remove dirt and mud from the painted
surfaces, use a low pressure water hose.
Carefully wet the dirty parts and remove mud
and dirt with a soft car sponge. You may use
proprietary car shampoos (2-4% parts of
shampoo in clear water), to make this easier.
Carefully flush so that no dirt or girt remains
on the paintwork, and dry with a clean
chamois or clean terry towel.
To clean the engine and other non-painted
parts, use a mild solvent and a bristle brush,
along with plenty of rags.
