tem) with a corrosion inhibitor.
Preserving materials for paints, metal and rubber
( p. 177)
– Treat the painted parts with a mild paint polish.
Perfect finish and high gloss polish for paints ( p. 177)

this would strongly impair the material quality.

Special cleaner for glossy and matte paint finishes, metal
and plastic surfaces ( p. 177)

20.2 Checks and maintenance steps for winter operation
Info
If you use the motorcycle in winter, you must expect salt on the roads. You should therefore take precau-
tions against aggressive road salt.
If the vehicle has been used on salted roads, use cold water for cleaning after riding. Warm water
enhances the corrosive effects of salt.

– Clean the motorcycle. ( p. 153)
– Clean the brakes.
Info
After EVERY trip on salted roads, thoroughly clean the
brake calipers and brake linings, after they have cooled
down and without removing them, with cold water and
dry them carefully.
After riding on salted roads, thoroughly clean the
motorcycle with cold water and dry it well.
– Treat the engine, the link fork, and all other bare or zinc-plated
parts (except the brake discs) with a wax-based corrosion
inhibitor.
Info
Corrosion inhibitor must not come into contact with
the brake discs. This would severely lower the braking
effect.
– Clean the chain. ( p. 109)
