Paint care
Washing the motorcycle regu-
larly will help counteract the long-
term effects of substances that
damage the paint, especially if
your motorcycle is ridden in ar-
eas with high air pollution or nat-
ural sources of dirt, such as tree
resin or pollen.
However, remove particularly
aggressive materials immediately;
otherwise changes in the paint or
discoloration can occur. These
include spilled fuel, oil, grease
and brake fluid as well as bird
droppings. BMW Motorrad
recommends using a solvent
cleaner and then applying a
BMW Motorrad high gloss polish
to preserve the paint.
Contamination on the paint fin-
ish is particularly easy to see
after the motorcycle has been
washed. Remove this type of
soiling with cleaning naphtha or
spirit on a clean cloth or cotton
ball. BMW Motorrad recom-
mends removing tar stains with
BMW tar remover. Then add
a protective wax coating to the
paint at these locations.
Store motorcycle
Clean motorcycle.
Completely fill the motorcycle's
fuel tank.
Removing battery (

Spray the brake and clutch
lever, and the center and side
stand pivots with a suitable lu-
bricant.
Preserve bare metal and
chrome-plated parts with an
acid-free grease (Vaseline).
Park motorcycle in a dry room,
raising it to remove weight
from both wheels (preferably
using the front-wheel and
rear-wheel stands offered by
BMW Motorrad).
Protective wax coating
Apply a preservative when water
fails to bead up on the painted
surface.
BMW Motorrad recommends
BMW Motorrad high gloss polish
or agents that contain carnauba
or synthetic wax to protect the
paint finish.
Return motorcycle to
use

coating.
