General cleaning
To preserve the original shine on metal surfaces and
paintwork, wash and clean your motorcycle at regular intervals
depending on the type of use and according to the particular
road conditions. Use specific products, where possible
biodegradable. Avoid aggressive detergents or solvents.
Important
Do not wash your motorcycle immediately after use,
as marks can form due to evaporation of the water on hot
surfaces.
Never clean the motorcycle using hot or high-pressure
water jets.
Cleaning the motorcycle with high-pressure water cleaners
may lead to seizure or serious faults in the front fork,
wheel hub assembly, electric system, front fork seals, air
inlets or exhaust silencers, with subsequent loss of the
required levels of safety.
If parts of the engine are unusually dirty or greasy, use a
degreasing agent, avoiding contact with transmission
components (chain, front and rear sprockets, etc.).
Rinse with warm water and dry all surfaces with chamois
leather.
Warning
There may be loss of braking efficiency immediately
after washing the motorcycle. Never grease or lubricate
the brake discs. This will cause loss of braking efficiency.
Clean the discs with an oil-free solvent.
