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