Maintenance and Adjustment
131
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.
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.
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.
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.
