Paint care
Washing the vehicle regularly
will help prevent damage to
the paintwork, especially if your
vehicle is ridden in areas with
high air pollution or natural
sources of dirt, for example tree
resin or pollen.
However, particularly aggress-
ive substances (e.g. spilt fuel,
oil, grease, brake fluid and bird
droppings) must be removed im-
mediately, as the paint could oth-
erwise be affected or become
discoloured. We recommend
BMW Motorrad BMW vehicle
polish or BMW paint cleaner for
this purpose.
Marks on the paintwork are par-
ticularly easy to see after the
motorcycle has been washed.
Remove stains of this kind im-
mediately, using cleaning-grade
benzene or petroleum spirit on a
clean cloth or ball of cotton wool.
BMW Motorrad recommend that
specks of tar be removed with
BMW tar remover and the parts
treated with this product should
subsequently be waxed.
Laying up the
motorcycle
Clean the motorcycle.
Fill the motorcycle's fuel tank.
Removing battery (
128).
Spray the brake and clutch
lever pivots and the main and
side stand pivots with a suit-
able lubricant.
Coat bright metal and chrome-
plated parts with an acid-free
grease (e.g. Vaseline).
Stand the motorcycle in a dry
room in such a way that there
is no load on either wheel
(preferably using the front-
wheel and rear-wheel stands
from BMW Motorrad).
Protective wax coating
If water is no longer forming
beads on the paint surface, it
must be waxed.
BMW Motorrad recommends
applying only BMW car wax or
products containing carnauba
wax or synthetic wax.
Restoring motorcycle
to use
Remove the protective wax
coating.
Clean the motorcycle.
