Maintenance and Adjustment
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 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.
Seat Care
To help maintain its appearance, clean the
seat using a sponge or cleaning cloth with
soap and water.
Unpainted Aluminium Items
Items such as brake and clutch levers, wheels,
engine covers, top and bottom yokes on
some models must be correctly cleaned to
preserve their appearance. Please contact
your dealer if you are unsure which
components on your motorcycle are
unpainted aluminium parts.
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.
