Maintenance and Adjustment
After Washing
Remove the plastic bags and tape, and clear
the air intakes.
Lubricate the pivots, bolts and nuts.
Test the brakes before motorcycle operation.
Start the engine and run it for 5 minutes.
Ensure adequate ventilation for the exhaust
fumes.
Use a dry cloth to absorb water residue. Do
not allow water to stand on the machine as
this will lead to corrosion.
Unpainted Aluminium Items
Items such as brake and clutch levers must
be correctly cleaned to preserve their
appearance.
Use a proprietary brand of aluminium
cleaner which does not contain abrasive or
caustic elements.
Clean aluminium items regularly, in particular
after use in inclement weather, where the
components must be hand washed and dried
each time the machine is used.
Warranty claims due to inadequate
maintenance will not be allowed.
Cleaning of the Exhaust System
All parts of the exhaust system of your
motorcycle must be cleaned regularly to
avoid a deterioration of its appearance. These
instructions can be applied to chrome,
brushed stainless steel and carbon fibre
components alike.
Note:
• The exhaust system must be cool
before washing to prevent water
spotting.
Washing
Prepare a mixture of cold water and mild
automotive cleaner. Do not use a highly
alkaline soap as commonly found at
commercial car washes because it leaves a
residue.
Wash the exhaust system with a soft cloth. Do
not use an abrasive scouring pad or steel
wool. They will damage the finish.
Rinse the exhaust system thoroughly.
Ensure no soap or water enters the exhausts.
Warning
Never wax or lubricate the brake discs.
Loss of braking power and an accident
could result. Clean the disc with a
proprietary brand of oil-free brake disc
cleaner.
