Care products

9
BMW Motorrad recommends
that you use the cleaning and
106
care products you can obtain
from your authorised BMW
Motorrad dealer. The substances
in BMW CareProducts have been
tested in laboratories and in
practice; they provide optimised
z
care and protection for the
materials used in your vehicle.
The use of unsuitable
cleaning and care products
can damage vehicle components.
Do not use solvents such as cel-
lulose thinners, cold cleaners,
fuel or the like, and do not use
cleaning products that contain
alcohol.

Washing vehicle

BMW Motorrad recommends
that you use BMW insect re-
mover to soften and wash off
insects and stubborn dirt on
painted parts prior to washing
the vehicle.
To prevent stains, do not wash
the vehicle immediately after it
has been exposed to strong sun-
light and do not wash it in the
sun.
Make sure that the vehicle is
washed frequently, especially
during the winter months.
To remove road salt, clean the
Scooter with cold water immedi-
ately after every trip.
After the Scooter has been
washed, ridden through wa-
ter or ridden in the rain, the brake
discs and pads might be wet and
the brakes might not take effect
immediately.
Apply the brakes in good time
until the brake discs and brake
pads have dried out.
Warm water intensifies the
effect of salt.

Use only cold water to wash off
road salt.
The high pressure of high-
pressure cleaners (steam
cleaners) can damage seals, the
hydraulic brake system, the elec-
trical system, and the seat.
Do not use a steam jet or high-
pressure cleaning equipment.
Cleaning easily
damaged components
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 ab-
rasives to clean plastic parts.
Even insect-remover pads or
cleaning pads with hard surfaces
can produce scratches.
