MOTORCYCLE CLEANING
The cleaning of the vehicle is also an important part of the daily use and maintenance of the
motorcycle. Frequent cleaning of your motorcycle can keep your car in a good state of motion and
prolong its service life. You can clean your motorcycle through the following steps:
1. Cover the exhaust system to prevent water from entering;
2. Remove the plastic air box cover and air filter frame . Fit a plastic inner air box washing
cover over the entrance to the thottle body.Refit the plastic air box cover . This will protect water
from entering the thottle body during washing. In the interim between and now and you obtaining
the plastic inner air box washing cover , you can fit a polythene over the air filter foam whilst you
are washing the machine. Always fit the plastic air box cover before washing the exterior of the
machine. NEVER clean the inside of the air box with a hose or flowing water. If you clean the
inside of the air box , do this with by fitting the plastic inner air box washing cover.
3. Seal the lock and all connectors with tape;
4. Use a low-pressure water spray device to remove the mud and dirt on the surface;
5. Use a special motorcycle cleaner to clean particularly dirty places;
6. Flush with low-pressure water flow;
7. Let the motorcycle air dry naturally;
8. Drive the motorcycle for a short period of time until the engine reaches the working temperature;
9. Lubricate the chain and all other parts that need to be lubricated.
10. After washing its is always best to dry the motorcycle with an air line or a garden leaf blower . This
will contribute greatly to stopping corrosion and retaining the shine. Pressure washers are extreme
and they force water into bearings and seals and past small o rings. With this in mind remember not
to use high water force on the thottle body or the bearings or the electric connectors and components
AT ALL.
