Cleaning sensitive
motorcycle parts
Stainless-steel covers
The stainless-steel covers 1 on
the left and right may only be
cleaned with motorcycle or stain-
less steel cleaner.
If stainless-steel covers are
cleaned using unsuitable
cleaning agents, the surfaces can
be damaged.
Do not use abrasive cleaners,
e.g. stainless-steel polish, to
clean the stainless-steel covers.
'Fly sponges' or sponges with
hard surfaces can also lead to
scratches.
Plastics
If plastic parts are cleaned
using unsuitable cleaning
agents, the surfaces can be dam-
aged.
Do not use cleaning agents that
contain alcohol, solvents or abra-
sives to clean plastic parts.
'Fly sponges' or sponges with
hard surfaces can also lead to
scratches.
Fairings
Clean body panels with water
and BMW plastic cleaner.
Windshields and headlight
lenses are manufactured in
plastic
Clean off dirt and insects with a
soft sponge and plenty of water.
Soften stubborn dirt and
dead insects by covering
the affected areas with a wet
cloth.
Chrome
Especially in the case of road
salt, carefully clean chrome parts
with plenty of water and BMW
auto shampoo. Use chrome pol-
ish for additional treatment.
Radiator
Clean the radiator regularly to
prevent overheating of the en-
gine due to inadequate cooling.
For example, use a garden hose
with low water pressure.
Cooling fins can be bent
easily.
When cleaning the radiator, en-
sure that the fins are not bent.
