Maintenance and Adjustment

Where to be Careful
Avoid spraying water with any great
force near the following places:
• Instruments;
• Brake cylinders and brake calipers;
• Under the fuel tank;
• Headstock bearings;
• Air intake ducts.
Note:
• Use of soaps that are highly alkaline
will leave a residue on painted
surfaces, and may also cause water
spotting. Always use a low alkaline
soap to aid the cleaning process.
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
five minutes. Make sure there is
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.
Seat Care
To help maintain its appearance, clean
the seat using a sponge or cleaning
cloth with soap and water.
Do not spray any water at all under
the fuel tank. Any water sprayed
around the air intake ducts could
enter the airbox and engine, causing
damage to both items.
Use of high-pressure spray washers is
not recommended. When using
pressure washers, water may be
forced into bearings and other
components causing premature wear
from corrosion and loss of lubrication.
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.
Use of chemicals or high-pressure
spray washers is not recommended
for cleaning the seat. Using chemicals
or pressure washers may damage the
seat cover.
