Cleaning and Storage

Preparation for Washing
Before washing, precautions must be
taken to keep water off the following
places.
Rear opening of the exhausts: Cover
with a plastic bag secured with rubber
bands.
Clutch and brake levers, switch housings
on the handlebar: Cover with plastic
bags.
Ignition switch and steering lock: Cover
the keyhole with tape.
Remove any items of jewellery such
as rings, watches, zips or belt buckles,
which may scratch or otherwise damage
painted or polished surfaces.
Use separate cleaning sponges or
cleaning cloths for washing painted/
polished surfaces and chassis areas.
Chassis areas (such as wheels and
under mudguards) will be exposed to
more abrasive road grime and dust,
which may then scratch painted or
polished surfaces, if the same sponge or
cleaning cloths are used.
Where to be Careful
Caution
Do not spray any water at all near the
air intake duct.
The air intake duct is normally located
under the rider’s seat, under the fuel
tank or near the steering head.
Any water sprayed in this area could
enter the airbox and engine, causing
damage to both items.
Caution
Use of high pressure spray washers is
not recommended.
When using pressure washers, water
may be forced into bearings and other
components causing premature wear
from corrosion and loss of lubrication.
Avoid spraying water with any great
force near the following places:
• Instruments,
• Brake cylinders and brake calipers,
• Under the fuel tank,
• Air intake duct,
• Headstock bearings,
• Wheel bearings,
• Suspension seals and bearings.
Note
Use of soaps that are highly alkaline will
leave a residue on painted surfaces, and
may also cause water spotting.
Always use a low alkaline soap to aid
the cleaning process.
