17.1 Cleaning 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
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.
