Cleaning easily
damaged components
Plastics
Clean plastic parts with water
and BMW plastic care emul-
sion. This includes in particu-
lar:
Windscreen and slipstream
deflectors
Headlight lens made of
plastic
Glass cover of the instru-
ment cluster
Black, unpainted parts
If plastic parts are
cleaned using unsuitable
cleaning agents, the surfaces
can be damaged.
Do not use cleaning agents
that contain alcohol, solvents
or abrasives to clean plastic
parts.
Even fly-remover pads or
cleaning pads with hard
surfaces can produce
scratches.
Soften stubborn dirt and
insects by covering the
affected areas with a wet
cloth.
Chrome
Use plenty of water and BMW
shampoo to clean chrome,
particularly if it has been
exposed to road salt. Use
chrome polish for additional
treatment.
Radiator
Clean the radiator regularly to
prevent overheating of the en-
gine due to inadequate cool-
ing.
For example, use a garden
hose with low water pressure.
Cooling fins can be bent
easily.
Take care not to bend the fins
when cleaning the radiator.
Rubber
Treat rubber components with
water or BMW rubber—care
products.
Using silicone sprays for
the care of rubber seals
can cause damage.
Do not use silicone sprays
or other care products that
contain silicon.
Paint care
Washing the motorcycle
regularly will help counteract
the long—term effects of
substances that damage
the paint, especially if your
motorcycle is ridden in areas
with high air pollution or
natural sources of dirt, for
example tree resin or pollen.
