CLEANING
CLEANING
Frequent regular cleaning is an essential part of the maintenance
of your motorcycle. If regularly cleaned, the appearance of your
motorcycle will be preserved for many years.
Cleaning with cold water containing an automotive cleaner approved
by Maeving is essential, especially if your motorcycle has been
exposed to dusty, muddy roads or road salt during the winter months.
Caution : Do not use washing-up liquid or other household
detergents on your motorcycle, as over time these can cause
premature corrosion.
Preparing to wash your motorcycle
Before washing your motorcycle, take every precaution to try to keep
water away from the following places:
•
Clutch and brake levers;
• Handlebar switch housings, and
• Ignition switch.
For the areas mentioned, keep water exposure to a minimum and use
plastic bags secured with rubber bands over the areas. Use separate
cloths or sponges for washing painted or polished surfaces and the
chassis, as the wheels and chassis will be exposed to more abrasive
road dirt, debris and dust, which may cause scratches to painted or
polished areas if the same sponge or cleaning cloths are used.
Caution : The use of high-pressure washers or sprays is not
recommended by Maeving. High-pressure water can be
forced into bearings and other components, which causes
premature wear due to loss of lubrication and corrosion.
Never spray high-pressure water near the following areas:
•
Instrument panel.
• Brake master cylinders and brake calipers.
• Steering headstock bearings.
• Wheel bearings.
• Joints or seals.
• Electric motor.
• Controller housing.
• Battery housing.
• Storage tank lid.
Maeving do not recommend the use of highly alkaline soaps, as these
can cause water spotting and leave residues on painted surfaces.
Warning : Never apply wax or lubrication to the brake discs.
This could result in loss of braking power and control of the
motorcycle, resulting in an accident. Only clean brake discs
with an established brand of oil-free brake disc cleaner.
Always test the brakes after cleaning or washing your motorcycle.
Once you have cleaned your motorcycle, use a dry cloth or chamois
leather to absorb water residue from your motorcycle.
