BMW R 1200R 2015 User Manual

Care products
BMW Motorrad recommends
that you use cleaning and
care products available at your
authorized BMW Motorrad
retailer. BMW CareProducts
have been materials tested,
laboratory tested, and field tested
and provide optimum care and
protection for the materials used
in your vehicle.
The use of unsuitable prod-
ucts for cleaning and care
can damage motorcycle compo-
nents.
For cleaning, do not use any sol-
vents such as nitro-thinners, cold
cleaning agents, fuel or similar,
and do not use cleaning agents
that contain alcohol.
Washing your
motorcycle
BMW Motorrad recommends
that you use BMW Insect Re-
mover to soften and wash off
insects and stubborn dirt from
painted parts before washing the
motorcycle.
To prevent stains, do not wash
the motorcycle immediately after
it has been exposed to bright
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 im-
mediately after completion of ev-
ery trip.
After washing the motor-
cycle, after driving through
water or in the rain, braking can
be delayed owing to damp brake
rotors and brake pads.
Brake early until the brake rotors
and brake pads are dry.
Warm water intensifies the
effect of salt.
Only use cold water to remove
road salt.
The high water pressure
from high-pressure clean-
ers (steam blasters) can result in
damage to seals, the hydraulic
brake system, the electrics and
the seat.
Exercise caution when using
high-pressure or steam-jet
devices!
Cleaning sensitive
motorcycle parts
Plastics
If plastic parts are cleaned
using unsuitable cleaning
agents, the surfaces can be dam-
aged.
Do not use cleaning agents that
