Material damage Damage and destruction of components by high-pressure cleaning equipment.
Never clean the vehicle with high-pressure cleaning equipment or a strong water-jet. The excessive pressure can penetrate electrical
components, socket connects, throttle cables, and bearings, etc., and can damage or destroy these parts.
Warning
Environmental hazard Hazardous substances cause environmental damage.
Oil, grease, filters, fuel, cleaners, brake fluid, etc., should be disposed of as stipulated in applicable regulations.
Info
To maintain the value and appearance of the motorcycle over a long period, clean it regularly.
Avoid direct sunshine when cleaning the motorcycle.
Before cleaning, seal the exhaust system to prevent water from entering.
Remove loose dirt first with a soft jet of water.
Spray very dirty parts with a normal commercial engine cleaner and then brush off with a soft brush.
