CLEANING AND CHECKING THE VEHICLE
Use water jet to soften the dirt and mud accumulated on the paintwork, then remove
them with a soft bodywork sponge soaked in water and shampoo (2-4 percent
shampoo in water). Subsequently rinse well with water, and dry with air and cloth or
suede leather. For the outside of the engine use a brush soaked in petroleum and
clean rags. Petroleum damages the paintwork. Always wash the vehicle before
waxing it with silicon waxes.
Detergents pollute water. Always wash the vehicle in areas equipped for
collection and purification of the washing liquids.
Never wash the vehicle in the sun, particularly during the summer when the
bodywork is hot. The shampoo would dry before being rinsed off and cause
damage to the paintwork. Do not clean the plastic surfaces with cloths soaked
in petrol or naphtha as they would lose their shine and mechanical properties.
CHECKS AFTER CLEANING
After cleaning the motorcycle, it is advisable to:
•
Clean the air filter (refer to the procedure described on page 119).
•
Empty the fuel container by loosening the fuel emptying screw in order (as de-
scribed on page 124) to check for the presence of water.
•
Add grease to the chain.
