Maintenance and Adjustment
Cleaning
Frequent, regular cleaning is an essential part
of the maintenance of your motorcycle. If
regularly cleaned, the appearance will be
preserved for many years. Cleaning with cold
water containing an automotive cleaner is
essential at all times but particularly so after
exposure to sea breezes, sea water, dusty or
muddy roads and in winter when roads are
treated for ice and snow. Do not use
household detergent, as the use of such
products will lead to premature corrosion.
Although, under the terms of your
motorcycle warranty, cover is provided
against the corrosion of certain items, the
owner is expected to observe this reasonable
advice which will safeguard against corrosion
and enhance the appearance of the
motorcycle.
Care of Matt Paintwork
Matt paintwork requires no greater care than
that already recommended for high gloss
paintwork.
• Do not use any polish or wax on
components
• Do not try and polish out scratches.
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.
