Care
The exposure of its technology
makes a motorcycle charming but
also vulnerable. Although high-quality
components are used, they are not
all rust-resistant. While a rusty
exhaust pipe may remain unnoticed
on a car, it does look unattractive on
a motorcycle. Frequent and proper
care, however, will keep your motor-
cycle looking good, extend its life and
maintain its performance. Moreover,
the warranty states that the vehicle
must be properly taken care of. For
all these reasons, it is recommended
that you observe the following clean-
ing and storing precautions.
Before cleaning
1. Cover up the muffler outlet with a
plastic bag.
2. Make sure that all caps and cov-
ers as well as all electrical cou-
plers and connectors, including
the spark plug cap, are tightly
installed.
3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt,
like oil burnt onto the crankcase,
with a degreasing agent and a
tooth or bottle brush, but never
apply such products onto seals,
gaskets, sprockets, the drive
chain and wheel axles. Always
rinse the dirt and degreaser off
with water.
Cleaning
After normal use
Remove dirt with warm water, a neu-
tral detergent and a soft clean
sponge, then rinse with plenty of
clean water. Use a brush for hard-to-
reach parts. Tougher dirt and insects
will come off more easily if the area is
covered with a wet cloth for a few
minutes before cleaning.

Avoid using strong acidic
wheel cleaners, especially on
spoked wheels. If you do use
such products for hard-to-
remove dirt, do not leave it on
any longer than instructed,
then thoroughly rinse it off
with water, immediately dry
the area and apply a corrosion
protection spray.
