Cleaning the motorcycle
Note
Material damage
Components become damaged or destroyed if a pressure cleaner is used incorrectly.
The high pressure forces water into the electrical components, connectors, throttle cables, and bearings, etc.
Pressure which is too high causes malfunctions and destroys components.
–
Do not direct the water jet directly on to electrical components, connectors, throttle cables or bearings.
–
Maintain a minimum distance between the nozzle of the pressure cleaner and the component.
Minimum clearance
60 cm (23.6 in)
Warning
Environmental hazard
Hazardous substances cause environmental damage.
–
Dispose of oils, grease, filters, fuel, cleaning agents, brake fluid, etc., correctly and in compliance
with the applicable regulations.
Info
If you clean the motorcycle regularly, its value and appearance will be maintained over a long period.
Avoid direct sunshine on the motorcycle during cleaning.

Brake carefully several times to dry out and
remove dirt from the brake linings and the brake
discs.

After cleaning, ride a short distance until the engine reaches
operating temperature.
Info
The heat produced causes water at inaccessible loca-
tions in the engine and on the brake system to evapo-
rate.
–
Push back the protection caps of the handlebar controls to
allow any water that has penetrated to evaporate.
