Matt Paintwork Care
Matt paintwork requires no greater care
than that already recommended for
gloss paintwork.
▼ Do not use any polish or wax on
matt paintwork.
▼ Do not try and polish out scratches.
Gloss Paintwork Care
Gloss paintwork should be washed
and dried as described previously,
then protected using a high quality
automotive polish. Always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions and repeat
regularly to maintain your motorcycle’s
appearance.
Aluminum Items - not
Lacquered or Painted
Items such as brake and clutch levers,
wheels, engine covers, engine cooling
fins, upper and lower yokes and
throttle bodies 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 aluminum parts not
protected by paint or lacquer, and for
guidance on how to clean those items.
Use a proprietary brand of aluminum
cleaner which does not contain abrasive
or caustic elements.
Clean aluminum 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.
