Care products
BMW Motorrad recommends
that you use the cleaning
and care products you can
obtain from your authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer. The
substances in BMW Care
Products have been tested in
laboratories and in practice;
they provide optimised care and
protection for the materials used
in your vehicle.
The use of unsuitable
cleaning and care products
can damage vehicle components.
Do not use solvents such as cel-
lulose thinners, cold cleaners,
fuel or the like, and do not use
cleaning products that contain
alcohol.
Washing motorcycle
BMW Motorrad recommends
that you use BMW insect re-
mover to soften and wash off
insects and stubborn dirt on
painted parts prior to washing
the motorcycle.
To prevent stains, do not wash
the motorcycle immediately after
it has been exposed to strong
sunlight and do not wash it in the
sun.
Make sure that the vehicle is
washed frequently, especially
during the winter months.
To remove road salt, clean the
motorcycle with cold water im-
mediately after every trip.
After the motorcycle has
been washed, ridden
through water or ridden in
the rain, the brake discs and
pads might be wet and the
brakes might not take effect
immediately.
Apply the brakes in good time
until the brake discs and brake
pads have dried out.
Warm water intensifies the
effect of salt.
Use only cold water to wash off
road salt.
The high pressure of high-
pressure cleaners (steam
cleaners) can damage seals, the
hydraulic brake system, the elec-
trical system, and the seat.
Do not use a steam jet or high-
pressure cleaning equipment.
Cleaning easily
damaged components
Plastics
The use of unsuitable
products to clean plastic
parts can damage the surface.
Do not use cleaning agents that
contain alcohol, solvents or ab-
rasives to clean plastic parts.
