MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE
•Do not use any harsh chemical
products on plastic parts. Be sure
to avoid using cloths or sponges
which have been in contact with
strong or abrasive cleaning prod-
ucts, solvent or thinner, fuel (gaso-
line), rust removers or inhibitors,
brake fluid, antifreeze or elec-
trolyte.
•Do not use high-pressure washers
or steam-jet cleaners since they
cause water seepage and deterio-
ration in the following areas: seals
(of wheel and swingarm bearings,
fork and brakes), electric compo-
nents (couplers, connectors,
instruments, switches and lights),
breather hoses and vents.
•For motorcycles equipped with a
windshield: Do not use strong
cleaners or hard sponges as they
will cause dulling or scratching.
Some cleaning compounds for
plastic may leave scratches on the
windshield. Test the product on asmall hidden part of the wind-
shield to make sure that it does
not leave any marks. If the wind-
shield is scratched, use a quality
plastic polishing compound after
washing.
After normal use
Remove dirt with warm water, a mild deter-
gent, and a soft, clean sponge, and then
rinse thoroughly with clean water. Use a
toothbrush or bottlebrush for hard-to-reach
areas. Stubborn dirt and insects will come
off more easily if the area is covered with a
wet cloth for a few minutes before clean-
ing.After riding in the rain, near the sea or on
salt-sprayed roads
Since sea salt or salt sprayed on roads
during winter are extremely corrosive in
combination with water, carry out the fol-
lowing steps after each ride in the rain,
near the sea or on salt-sprayed roads.
NOTE:
Salt sprayed on roads in the winter may
remain well into spring.
1. Clean the motorcycle with cold water
and a mild detergent, after the engine
has cooled down.
ECA00012
Do not use warm water since it increas-
es the corrosive action of the salt.
2. After drying the motorcycle, apply a
corrosion protection spray on all met-
al, including chrome- and nickel-plat-
ed, surfaces to prevent corrosion.
