Do not use steam jet cleaners
or high-pressure cleaners.
c
Plastics
Clean plastic parts with water
and BMW plastic care
emulsion. This includes in
particular:
– Windscreens
– Headlight lenses made of
plastic
– Covering glass of the
instrument cluster
– Black, unpainted parts
If plastic parts are
cleaned using unsuitable
cleaning agents, the surfaces
can be damaged.
Do not use cleaning agents
that contain alcohol, solvents
or abrasives to clean plastic
parts. "Fly sponges" or spong-
es with hard surfaces can also
lead to scratches.
c
Soften resilient dirt and
insects by applying a wet
cloth. c
Windscreen
Remove dirt and insects with a
soft sponge and lots of water.
Fuel and chemical
solvents attack the
windscreen.
Do not use cleaning agents.
c
Chrome
Especially in the case of road
salt, carefully clean chrome
with plenty of water and BMW
vehicle shampoo. Use chrome
polish for additional treatment.
Radiator
Clean the radiator regularly to
prevent overheating of the
engine due to inadequate
cooling. For example, use a
garden hose with low water
pressure.
Cooling fins can be bent
easily.
When cleaning the radiator,
ensure that the fins are not
bent.
c
Paint care
Regular washing of the motor-
cycle counteracts the long-
term effects of materials that
damage the paint, especially if
your motorcycle is ridden in
areas with high air pollution or
natural sources of dirt, e.g.
tree resins or pollen.
However, remove particularly
aggressive materials immedi-
ately; otherwise changes in
the paint or discolouration can
occur. These include, e.g.,
spilt fuel, oil, grease, brake
