Cleaning
WARNING! Improper cleaning can damage electrical
components, cowlings, panels, and other plastic parts. Do
not use high pressure water or steam cleaners; they can
cause water intrusion of bearing, seals, and electrical
components. Avoid spraying water of great force around
the dash unit, quick charge connector, power pack, or
controller.
To prolong the life of your motorcycle it should be washed
periodically. Regular cleaning is an important factor in
maintaining the value of your motorcycle. It also ensures
that safety related parts remain in full working order.
If tar, bugs, or other similar deposits have accumulated,
clean them off as soon as possible.
CAUTION: After cleaning and before starting your journey,
always test the brakes.
Washing
WARNING!
Do not use any harsh chemical products on
plastic parts. Be sure to avoid using cloths or sponges
which have been in contact with strong abrasive cleaning
products, solvent or thinner, fuel (gasoline), rust removers
or inhibitors, brake fluid, antifreeze, or electrolyte.
Note: We recommend the use of a garden hose to wash
your motorcycle. High-pressure washers (like those at
coin-operated car washes) can damage certain parts.
1. Gently wash your motorcycle with a sponge or a clean
soft cloth, mild detergent, and plenty of water.
2. Use care when cleaning the plastic parts (dash,
fenders, and side panels), which can scratch easier
than the other parts of your motorcycle.
3. After washing, rinse your motorcycle thoroughly with
plenty of clean water to remove any detergent residue.
4. Dry your motorcycle with a chamois or a soft, dry towel.
5. After cleaning, inspect for damage, wear or leaks.
After washing the motorcycle, allow all of the electrical
components to dry prior to operation. If the motorcycle is
ridden after being washed, apply both brakes several
times in order to remove any moisture from the brake
pads.
Wheels and tires
Avoid using strong acidic wheel cleaners, especially on
spoked wheels. If such products are used on
hard-to-remove dirt, do not leave the cleaner on the
affected area any longer than instructed. Also thoroughly
rinse the area off with water, immediately dry it, and then
apply a corrosion protection spray.
Do not use products such as tire dressings on tires as this
will deteriorate traction.
