BMW Motorrad recommends
BMW car polish or BMW paint
cleaner for the purpose.
Contamination on the paint fin-
ish is particularly easy to see
after the motorcycle has been
washed. Remove this type of
soiling with cleaning naphtha or
spirit on a clean cloth or cotton
ball. BMW Motorrad recom-
mends using BMW tar remover
for removing tar spots. Then add
a protective wax coating to the
paint at these locations.
Storing the motorcycle
Clean motorcycle.
Removing battery ( 141).
Spray the brake and clutch
lever, and the center and side
stand pivots with a suitable lu-
bricant.
Coat bare metal and chrome-
plated parts with an acid-free
grease (Vaseline).
Park motorcycle in a dry room,
raising it to remove weight
from both wheels (preferably
using the front wheel and rear-
wheel stand offered by BMW).
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.
