Cleaning and care
Regular cleaning, using the
correct methods, is an impor-
tant factor in maintaining the
value of your motorcycle. It
also ensures that safety-rele-
vant parts remain in full
working order.
Care products
We recommend that you use
the cleaning and care prod-
ucts you can obtain from your
authorised BMW motorcycle
dealer. The materials in BMW
Care Products have been
tested in laboratories and in
practice; they provide opti-
mised care and protection for
the materials used in your
vehicle.
The use of unsuitable
cleaning and care prod-
ucts can damage vehicle
components.
Do not use solvents such as
cellulose thinners, cold clean-
ers, fuel or the like, and do not
use cleaning products that
contain alcohol.c
Washing the motorcycle
We recommend that you use
BMW insect remover to soften
and wash off insects and stub-
born 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 motorcycle
is washed frequently,
especially during the winter
months.
To remove road salt, clean the
motorcycle with cold water
immediately after every trip.
Warm water reinforces
the effects of the salt.
Use only cold water to wash
off road salt.c
Wet brake discs reduce
the braking effect.
After washing the motorcycle,
dry the brakes by braking.c
The high pressure of
steam cleaners can dam-
age seals, the hydraulic brake
system, the electrical system,
adhesive labels and badges.
Do not use a steam jet or high-
pressure cleaning equip-
ment.c
