After cleaning
1. Dry the scooter with a chamois or
an absorbing cloth.
2. Use a chrome polish to shine
chrome, aluminum and stainless-
steel parts, including the exhaust
system. (Even the thermally in-
duced discoloring of stainless-
steel exhaust systems can be re-
moved through polishing.)
3. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-
mended to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on
including chrome- and nickel-plat-
ed, surfaces.
4. Use spray oil as a universal clean-
er to remove any remaining dirt.
5. Touch up minor paint damage
caused by stones, etc.
6. Wax all painted surfaces.
7. Let the scooter dry completely be-
fore storing or covering it.
WARNING
Contaminants on the brakes or tires
can cause loss of control.

necessary, clean the brake
discs and brake linings with a
regular brake disc cleaner or
acetone, and wash the tires with
warm water and a mild deter-
gent.
 Before operating the scooter
test its braking performance
and cornering behavior.
NOTICE
 Apply spray oil and wax spar-
ingly and make sure to wipe off
all metal,
any excess.
 Never apply oil or wax to any
rubber parts, plastic parts or
headlight, taillight and meter
lenses, but treat them with a
suitable care product.
 Avoid using abrasive polishing
compounds as they will wear
away the paint.
