CLEANING OF SENSITIVE PARTS
BODYWORK
To keep the motorcycle bright, wash it regularly, especially if used in areas with high
levels of pollution or mud. Aggressive stains from tree resins, gasoline, oil, brake fluid
or bird excrement in general
must be removed immediately, otherwise permanent stains on the paint can appear.
After washing it is easy to identify marks and residual stains, remove them from the
body using a soft cloth and brand-name, non-abrasive polish, and protect with a pro-
tective wax for cars. Periodic care, a thorough cleaning and regular protective wax for
the bodywork preserves the aesthetic quality of the motorcycle over the long term.
PLASTIC COMPONENTS
IF THE PLASTIC COMPONENTS ARE CLEANED USING AGGRESSIVE AGENTS,
THE SURFACE MAY BE DAMAGED. DO NOT USE CLEANING PRODUCTS CON-
TAINING ALCOHOL, SOLVENTS OR THAT ARE ABRASIVE FOR THE CLEANING
