CLEANING
Clean your vehicle regularly. Your vehicle will
look better and work better if you keep it
clean. You will find you will need to clean it
more frequently if it is used in the following
conditions:
√ Polluted areas (cities and industrial areas).
√ Areas characterized by a high percentage
of salinity and humidity (sea areas, hot and
humid climates).
√ Particular conditions (use of salt and anti-
ice chemical products on the roads during
the winter).
◆ Do not allow contaminants such as
industrial dust, tar spots, dead insects, bird
droppings, etc. to remain on the painted
portions of your vehicle. They will very
quickly etch into and damage the paint.
◆ Do not park your vehicle under trees, since
some trees ooze resins that contain
chemicals which can damage the paint.
WARNING
After your vehicle has been washed, the
brake functioning will be temporarily
impaired because of the wetness of the
discs and pads. Do not ride in traffic
until after you have dried the brakes by
repeated braking from slow speed.
Always after washing your vehicle,
carry out the preliminary checking
operation, see p.49 (PRELIMINARY
CHECKING OPERATIONS ).
CAUTION
To clean the lights, use a sponge
soaked with water and a neutral
detergent, rubbing the surfaces
delicately and rinsing frequently with
plenty of water.
Polish with silicone wax only after having
carefully washed your vehicle.
Do not use polishing pastes on matt
paints.
Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight,
especially during the summer, when the
paintwork is still warm, since if the
shampoo dries before being rinsed away,
it can damage the paint.
Do not use solvents or water hotter than
40°C to clean the plastic components of
the vehicle.
Never use a high pressure washer, a
steam cleaner, or an air augmented water
jet to clean your vehicle, especially the
wheel hubs, handlebar controls, brake
reservoirs and cylinders, instruments,
electrical components or exhaust silencer.
Such cleaning machinery will force water
into critical portions of your vehicle,
which could damage your vehicle
through corrosion or short circuiting.
Do not use alcohol or gasoline or
solvents to clean the rubber parts, the
plastic parts, and the saddle, use only
clear water with a mild soap.
WARNING
Do not apply any protective coating to the
saddle, such coatings tend to make the
saddle too slippery.
