Clean your motorcycle regularly in order to maintain the beauty of its plastic surfaces.
The best manner would be to use warm water that has been mixed with a normal brand-name washing detergent and a sponge. The hard dirt can
be removed before washing with the help of a soft water jet.

– You should use normal brand-name detergents to clean the motorcycle. Especially dirty parts should be cleaned additionally with the help of a
paint brush.
– After the motorcycle has been rinsed with a soft water jet, it should be dried by air pressure and a cloth. Then take a short drive until the
engine has reached the working temperature and also use the brakes. By warming these components, the residual water can evaporate from
inaccessable parts of the engine and the brakes.
– Slide back the protective covers on the handlebar-mounted instruments so that any water that may have seeped into this part of the motorcy-
cle is allowed to evaporate.
– After the motorcycle has cooled down, oil and grease all the gliding bearing parts. Treat the chain with a chain spray too.
– To prevent failures in the electric system, you should treat the ignition lock, the emergency OFF switch, the short circuit button, the light
switch and the socket connectors with contact spray.

In the event that the motorcycle is also used in winter and on roads where one has to expect salt spraying, you will have to take precautions
against the aggressive road salt.
– clean motorcycle thoroughly and let it dry after each riding
– treat engine, carburetor, swing arm, and all other bare or galvanized parts (except for brake discs) with a wax-based anti-corrosion agent.

FTER RIDES ON SALTED ROADS
Should you desire to make a pause over a longer space of time, please observe the following instructions:
– Clean motorcycle thoroughly (see chapter: CLEANING)
– Change engine oil, oil filter and micro filter and fine screen filter (old engine oil contains aggresive contaminants).
– Check antifreezer and amount of cooling liquid.
– Let the engine warm up again, close fuel cock and wait until the engine dies off by itself. By this means, carburetor jets are prevented from
becoming resinous by the old fuel.
– Remove spark plug and fill in approx. 5 ccm of engine oil into the cylinder through the opening. Actuate kick-starter 10 times in order to distri-
bute the oil onto the cylinder walls and mount the spark plug.
– Set piston to compression so that the valves will be closed. While doing this, slowly kick the kick starter through its stroke until the clicking
sound (disengaging) of the automatic decompression release can be heard.
– Let fuel flow out of tank into an appropriate container.
– Correct tire pressure.
– Lubricate bearing points of the control levers, foot rests, etc. as well as the chain.
– Service the rear suspension linkage
– Disassemble and charge battery (see chapter: BATTERY).
NOTE: Only the following models are equipped with a battery: EGS Austria, EGS Switzerland.
– The storage place should be dry and not be subject to too big temperature fluctuations.
– Cover the motorcycle with an air permeated tarp or blanket. Do not use non air permeable materials as a possible humidity might not be able to
escape and thereby cause corrosion.

T WOULD BE VERY BAD TO LET THE ENGINE RUN FOR A SHORT TIME DURING THE STORAGE PERIOD

– Mount the charged battery (regard polarity).
– Fill up tank with fresh fuel.
– Check motorcycle as before each start (see driving instructions)
– Take a short, careful test ride first.
