Cleaning the motorcycle
To preserve the finish of metal parts and paintwork, wash
and clean your motorcycle at regular intervals, anyway
according to the road conditions you ride in. Use specific
products only. Prefer biodegradable products. Avoid
aggressive detergents or solvents.
Important
Do not wash your motorcycle right after use. When the
motorcycle is still hot, water drops will evaporate faster and
spot hot surfaces.
Never clean the motorcycle using hot or high-pressure water
jets.
Cleaning the motorcycle with water cleaners may lead to
seizure or severe failure of front fork, wheel hub assembly,
electric system, front fork seals, air inlets or exhaust silencers
and adversely affect the operation of motorcycle safety
features.
Clean off stubborn dirt or exceeding grease from engine
parts using a degreasing agent. Be sure to avoid contact with
drive parts (chain, sprockets, etc.).
Rinse with warm water and dry all surfaces with chamois
leather.
Warning
Braking performance may be impaired immediately
after washing the motorcycle. Never grease or lubricate the
brake discs. Loss of braking and further accidents may occur.
Clean the discs with an oil-free solvent.
