After Washing

Never wax or lubricate the brake discs.
Always clean the brake disc with a
proprietary brand of oil-free brake disc
cleaner.
Waxed or lubricated brake discs may
cause loss of braking power and an
accident.
After washing the motorcycle, do the
following:
▼ Remove the plastic bags and tape,
and clear the air intakes.
▼ Lubricate the pivots, bolts and nuts.
▼ Test the brakes before motorcycle
operation.
▼ Use a dry cloth or chamois leather to
absorb water residue. Do not allow
water to stand on the motorcycle as
this will lead to corrosion.
▼ Start the engine and run it for 5
minutes. Make sure that there is
adequate ventilation for the exhaust
fumes.
Warning

Gloss Paintwork Care

Gloss paintwork should be washed and
dried as described previously, then
protected using
automotive polish. Always follow the
manufacturer's instructions and repeat
regularly to maintain your motorcycle's
appearance.

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.
