CLEANING Cleaning the motorcycle 12.1 Note 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.

CLEANING Warning Danger of accidents Reduced braking efficiency due to wet or dirty brakes. – Clean or dry dirty or wet brakes by riding and braking gently. – After cleaning, ride the vehicle a short distance until the engine is warm, applying the brakes occasionally. Info The heat produced causes water at inaccessible locations in the engine and the brakes to evaporate.
PROTECTIVE TREATMENT FOR WINTER OPERATION Protective treatment for winter operation 13.1 Info If you use the motorcycle in winter, you must expect salt on the roads. You should therefore take precautions against aggressive road salt. If the vehicle was operated in road salt, clean it with cold water. Warm water would enhance the corrosive effects of salt. –...

STORAGE Info Do not use non-porous materials since they prevent humidity from escaping, thus causing corrosion. Avoid running the engine for a short time only. Since the engine cannot warm up properly, the water vapor produced during combustion condenses and causes valves and exhaust system to rust. Putting into operation after storage 14.2 –...

STANDARDS JASO T903 MA Different technical development directions required a new specification for 4-stroke motorcycles – the JASO T903 MA Standard. Ear- lier, engine oils from the automobile industry were used for 4-stroke motorcycles because there was no separate motorcycle specification. Whereas long service intervals are demanded for automobile engines, high performance at high engine speeds are in the foreground for motorcycle engines.
