Care products
We recommend that you use
the cleaning and care prod-
ucts you can obtain from your
authorized BMW motorcy-
cle retailer. The materials in
BMW Care Products have
been tested in laboratories
and in practice; they provide
optimized care and protection
for the materials used in your
motorcycle.
The use of unsuitable
cleaning and care prod-
ucts can damage motorcycle
components.
For cleaning, do not use
any solvents such as
nitro-thinners, cold cleaning
agents, fuel or similar, and do
not use cleaning agents that
contain alcohol.
Washing your motor-
cycle
We recommend that you use
BMW insect remover to soft-
en and wash off insects and
resilient dirt on painted parts
prior to washing the motorcy-
cle.
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 motor-
cycle is washed frequently,
especially during the winter
months.
To remove road salt, clean
the motorcycle with cold wa-
ter immediately after every
trip.
After the motorcycle has
been washed, ridden
through water or ridden in
the rain, the brake disks and
pads might be wet and the
brakes might not take effect
immediately.
Brake early until the brakes
are dry or braked until dry.
Warm water intensifies
the effect of salt.
Only use cold water to re-
move road salt.
The high pressure of
steam cleaners can
damage seals, the hydraulic
brake system, the electrical
system and the seat.
Do not use a steam jet or
high-pressure cleaning equip-
ment.
