Conservation for winter operation
Info
If you use the motorcycle in the winter, you have to expect salt on the roads. You therefore have to take precautions against the
aggressive road salt.
If the vehicle has been used on salted roads, clean it with cold water. Warm water intensifies the effects of salt.
– Clean the motorcycle. ( p. 215)
– Treat the engine, swingarm and all other bare or galvanized parts (except the brake discs) with a wax-based anticorrosive.
Info
Avoid getting anticorrosive on the brake discs: this would badly affect the braking.
After riding on salted roads, thoroughly wash the motorcycle with cold water and dry it well.
– Clean the chain. ( p. 130)
