Maintenance and Adjustment
Windscreen Cleaning
(Daytona only)
Always clean the
windscreen with
clean water and a
soft cloth. Dry after
cleaning with a
soft, lint free cloth. Minor scratches
can be removed using a commercial
polishing compound suitable for
plastic.
The windscreen must be replaced if
scratches cannot be completely
removed.
Steering/Wheel
Bearings
Steering Inspection
Lubricate and inspect the condition
of the headstock (steering) bearings
in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.
NOTE
• Always inspect the wheel
bearings at the same time
as the steering bearings.
Warning
Never attempt to clean the
windscreen while the motorcycle is
in motion as releasing the
handlebars may cause loss of
vehicle control and an accident.
Operation of the motorcycle with a
damaged or scratched windscreen
will reduce the rider's forward
vision. Any such reduction in
forward vision is dangerous and
may lead to an accident causing
injury or death.
Caution
Corrosive chemicals such as
battery electrolyte will damage the
windscreen. Never allow corrosive
chemicals to contact the
windscreen.
Caution
To prevent risk of injury from the
motorcycle falling during the
inspection, ensure that the
motorcycle is stabilised and
secured on a suitable support. Do
not exert extreme force against
each wheel or rock each wheel
vigorously as this may cause the
motorcycle to become unstable
and cause injury by falling from its
support.
Ensure that the position of the
support block will not cause
damage to the sump.
