Washing
To wash the motorcycle, do the
following:
▼
Make sure that the motorcycle
engine is cold.
▼
Prepare a mixture of clean, cold
water and mild automotive cleaner
or low alkaline soap.
▼
Do not use a highly alkaline soap
as commonly found at commercial
car washes because it will leave a
residue on painted surfaces and
may also cause water spotting.
▼
Wash the motorcycle with a sponge
or soft cloth.
▼
Do not use abrasive scouring pads
or steel wool. They will damage the
finish.
▼
Rinse the motorcycle thoroughly
with clean, cold water.
After Washing
Warning
Never wax or lubricate the brake discs.
Always clean the brake disc with a
proprietary brand of oil-free brake disc
cleaner.
Waxed or lubricated brake discs may
cause loss of braking power and an
accident.
After washing the motorcycle, do the
following:
▼
Remove the plastic bags and tape,
and clear the air intakes.
▼
Lubricate the pivots, bolts and nuts.
▼
Test the brakes before motorcycle
operation.
▼
Use a dry cloth or chamois leather
to absorb water residue. Do
not allow water to stand on the
motorcycle as this will lead to
corrosion.
▼
Start the engine and run it for
5 minutes. Make sure that there is
adequate ventilation for the exhaust
fumes.
