Paint care
Washing the vehicle on a regu-
lar basis will help prevent long-
term damage from harmful sub-
stances, and is especially impor-
tant when your vehicle is used
in areas with high levels of air
pollution or where natural con-
taminants such as tree resin and
pollen are present.
However, remove particularly
aggressive substances (spilled
fuel, oil grease, brake fluid as
well as bird droppings) immedi-
ately; otherwise changes in the
paint or discolorations may occur.
BMW Motorrad recommends
BMW car polish or BMW paint
cleaner for the purpose.
Contamination on the paint finish
is particularly easy to see after
the vehicle has been washed.
Remove this type of soiling
with cleaning naphtha or spirit
on a clean cloth or cotton ball.
BMW Motorrad recommends
using BMW tar remover for
removing tar spots. Then add
a protective wax coating to the
paint at these locations.
Store motorcycle
Clean motorcycle.
Completely fill the motorcycle's
fuel tank.
Removing battery ( 137).
Spray the brake and clutch
lever, and the center and side
stand pivots with a suitable lu-
bricant.
Protect metal and chrome-
plated parts with an acid-free
grease (Vaseline).
Store the motorcycle in a dry
room, raising it to remove the
weight from both front wheels
(preferably using the front and
rear-wheel stands offered by
BMW Motorrad).
Protective wax coating
Paint must be protected, if water
no longer pearls up on it.
To preserve the finish of your
vehicle, BMW Motorrad recom-
mends BMW Car Wax or agents
that contain carnauba or syn-
thetic waxes.
