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
To maintain the value and appearance of the motorcycle over a long period, clean it regularly.
Avoid direct sunshine when cleaning the motorcycle.

Danger of accidents

carefully several times to dry out and remove dirt
from the brake linings and the brake discs.
–
After cleaning, let your child ride the vehicle a short distance
until the engine warms up and the brakes have dried due to
careful application of the brakes.
Info
The heat produced causes water at inaccessible loca-
tions in the engine and on the brake system to evapo-
rate.
