CLEANING/PROTECTIVE TREATMENT 185
33.2Protective treatment for winter operation
Info
If you use the motorcycle in winter, you must expect salt on the roads. You should therefore take precautions against aggres-
sive road salt.
If the vehicle was operated in road salt, clean it with cold water. Warm water would enhance the corrosive effects of salt.
– Clean the motorcycle. ( p. 184)
– Treat the engine, the swingarm, and all other bare or galvanized parts (except brake discs) with a wax-based anti-corrosion sub-
stance.
Info
To prevent serious reduction of the braking efficiency, make sure no anti-corrosion substance gets on to the brake discs.
After use on salted roads, clean the motorcycle thoroughly with cold water and dry it properly.
– Clean the chain. ( p. 69)
