CLEANING, CARE 83
16.2Checks and maintenance steps for winter operation
Info
If you use the motorcycle in winter, you must expect salt on the roads. Precautions need to be taken against the aggressive
road salt.
If the vehicle was operated in road salt, clean it with cold water after riding. Warm water would enhance the corrosive effects of
salt.

– Clean the motorcycle. ( p. 82)
– Clean the brakes.
Info
After EVERY trip on salted roads, thoroughly wash the brake calipers and
brake linings with cold water and dry carefully. This should be done after
the parts are cooled down and while they are installed.
After riding on salted roads, thoroughly wash the motorcycle with cold water
and dry it well.
– Treat the engine, swingarm, and all other bright and zinc-plated parts (except for
the brake discs) with a wax-based corrosion inhibitor.
Info
Corrosion inhibitor is not permitted to come in contact with the brake discs
as this would greatly reduce the braking force.
