Clean your motorcycle regularly in order to maintain the beauty of its plastic surfaces.
The best manner would be to use warm water that has been mixed with a normal brand-name washing detergent and a sponge.
The hard dirt can be removed before washing with the help of a soft water jet.

CAUTION
!
N
EVER CLEAN YOUR MOTORCYCLE WITH A HIGH
-
PRESSURED CLEANER OR A HIGH
-
PRESSURED WATER JET
. T
HE WATER COULD OTHERWISE RUN INTO THE
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
,
CONNECTORS
,
SHEATHED CABLES
,
BEARINGS
,
CARBURETOR ETC
.
AND CAUSE DISTURBANCES OR LEAD TO A PREMATURE
DESTRUCTION OF THESE PARTS
.
– You should use normal brand-name detergents to clean the motorcycle. Especially dirty parts should be cleaned additionally with
the help of a paint brush.
– Befor cleaning with water, plug the exhaust pipe to prevent water ingress.
– After the motorcycle has been rinsed with a soft water jet, it should be dried by air pressure and a cloth. Then take a short drive
until the engine has reached the working temperature and also use the brakes. By warming these components, the residual water
can evaporate from inaccessable parts of the engine and the brakes.
– Slide back the protective covers on the handlebar-mounted instruments so that any water that may have seeped into this part of
the motorcycle is allowed to evaporate.
– After the motorcycle has cooled down, oil and grease all the gliding bearing parts. Treat the chain with a chain spray too.
– To prevent failures in the electric system, you should treat the ignition lock, the emergency OFF switch, the short circuit button, the
light switch and the socket connectors with contact spray.
Should you desire to make a pause over a longer space of time, please observe the following instructions:
– Clean motorcycle thoroughly (see chapter: CLEANING)
– Change engine oil, oil filter and micro filter (old engine oil contains aggressive contaminants).
– Check antifreezer and amount of cooling liquid.
– Let the engine warm up again, close fuel cock and wait until the engine dies off by itself. By this means, carburetor jets are preven-
ted from becoming resinous by the old fuel.
– Remove spark plug and fill in approx. 5 ccm of engine oil into the cylinder through the opening. Actuate kick-starter 10 times in
order to distribute the oil onto the cylinder walls and mount the spark plug.
– Set piston to compression so that the valves will be closed. While doing this, slowly kick the kick starter through its stroke until the
clicking sound (disengaging) of the automatic decompression release can be heard.
– Let fuel flow out of tank into an appropriate container.
– Correct tire pressure.
– Lubricate bearing points of the control levers, foot rests, etc. as well as the chain.
– Service the rear suspension linkage
– The storage place should be dry and not be subject to too big temperature fluctuations.
– Cover the motorcycle with an air permeated tarp or blanket. Do not use non air permeable materials as a possible humidity might
not be able to escape and thereby cause corrosion.
!
CAUTION
!
I
T WOULD BE VERY BAD TO LET THE ENGINE RUN FOR A SHORT TIME DURING THE STORAGE PERIOD
. T
HE ENGINE WOULD NOT GET WARMED UP ENOUGH
AND THE THUS DEVELOPED STEAM WOULD CONDENSE DURING THE COMBUSTION PROCESS AND CAUSE THE VALVES AND EXHAUST TO RUST
.
RE-INITIATION AFTER TIME OF STORAGE
– Fill up tank with fresh fuel.
– Check motorcycle as before each start (see driving instructions)
– Take a short, careful test ride first.
NOTE: Before you put your motorcycle away for the winter, you have to check all parts for their function and wear. Should any ser-
vice jobs, repairs, or any refitting be necessary, you should have them carried out during the off-season (lower workload at mechanics'
shops). This way, you can avoid the long waiting times at your mechanic at the beginning of the next biking season.
CLEANING
STORAGE
In the event that the motorcycle is also used in winter and on roads where one has to expect salt spraying, you will have to take pre-
cautions against the aggressive road salt.
– clean motorcycle thoroughly and let it dry after each riding
– treat engine, carburetor, swing arm, and all other bare or galvanized parts (except for brake discs) with a wax-based anti-corrosion
agent.

CORROSION AGENT FROM GETTING INTO CONTACT WITH THE BRAKE DISCS
,
FOR OTHERWISE THIS WILL SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE BRAKING POWER

CAUTION
!
A
FTER RIDES ON SALTED ROADS
,
CLEAN MOTORCYCLE THOROUGHLY WITH COLD WATER AND LET IT DRY WELL
