CLEANING
Clean the vehicle frequently if it is used in
particular areas or conditions, such as:
u Pollution (urban and industrial areas)
u High salinity and humidity (sea areas,
hot and damp climates).
u Seasonal/environmental conditions (salt
and chemicals spread on the roads in
the wintertime).
u Make sure to clean off any industrial
residue and pollutants, tar, dead insects,
bird droppings, etc. from the body panels
and fairings.
u Avoid parking the vehicle under trees.
Resins, fruits or leaves falling from the
trees may contain aggressive chemical
substances that may damage the
paintwork.
WARNING
After the vehicle has been washed,
braking efficiency could be temporarily
impaired because the friction surfaces
of the braking systems may still be wet.
Ride carefully as braking distance will
be longer. Operate the brakes
repeatedly to restore normal operation.
Perform the recommended pre-ride
checks, see page 31 (PRE-RIDE
CHECKS CHART).
To remove dirt and mud from the painted
surfaces use a low-pressure water jet,
carefully wet the dirty parts, remove mud
and filth with a soft car sponge
impregnated with a lot of water and
shampoo (2 – 4% parts of shampoo in
water).
Then rinse with plenty of water and dry with
chamois leather. Clean the outer parts of
the engine using a degreaser, small
brushes and cloth.
CAUTION
To clean the lights, use a sponge
soaked with water and a mild detergent,
rubbing the surfaces delicately and
rinsing frequently with plenty of water.
Wash the vehicle thoroughly before
applying silicone wax.
Do not polish matt-painted surfaces
with polishing paste.
Do not wash the vehicle under the sun,
especially in the summertime, when the
body is still warm, as the shampoo will
dry before you can rinse it away and
could damage the paint.
Do not use fluids at a temperature
exceeding 40°C to clean the plastic
components of the vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not aim high-pressure water or air
jets or steam jets on to the following
components: wheel hubs, controls on
the right and left side of the handlebar,
bearings, brake master cylinders,
instruments and indicators, exhaust
pipe, glove/tool kit compartment,
ignition switch/steering lock, fuel cap,
lights and electric connections.
Do not use alcohol, fuel or solvents to
clean the rubber and plastic parts and
the seat: use only water and mild soap.
WARNING
Do not apply protection waxes to the
seat, or it may become slippery.
