Maintenance and Adjustment

After Washing

Remove the plastic bags and tape, and clear
the air intakes.
Lubricate the pivots, bolts and nuts.
Test the brakes before motorcycle operation.
Start the engine and run it for 5 minutes.
Ensure adequate ventilation for the exhaust
fumes.
Use a dry cloth to absorb water residue. Do
not allow water to stand on the machine as
this will lead to corrosion.
Warning
Never wax or lubricate the brake discs.
Loss of braking power and an accident
could result. Clean the disc with a
proprietary brand of oil-free brake disc
cleaner.

Seat Care

Caution
Use of chemicals or high-pressure spray
washers is not recommended for cleaning
the seat. Using chemicals or pressure
washers may damage the seat cover.
To help maintain its appearance, clean the
seat using a sponge or cleaning cloth with
soap and water.

Unpainted Aluminium Items

Items such as brake and clutch levers, wheels,
engine covers, top and bottom yokes on
some models must be correctly cleaned to
preserve their appearance. Please contact
your dealer if you are unsure which
components on your motorcycle
unpainted aluminium parts.
Use a proprietary brand of aluminium
cleaner.
Clean aluminium items regularly, in particular
after use in inclement weather, where the
components must be hand washed and dried
each time the machine is used.
Warranty claims due
maintenance will not be allowed.

Windscreen Cleaning

Clean the windscreen with a solution of mild
soap or detergent and lukewarm water. After
cleaning, rinse well and then dry with a soft,
lint free cloth.
Caution
Products such as window cleaning fluids,
insect remover, rain repellent, scouring
compounds, petrol or strong solvents such
as alcohol, acetone, carbon tetrachloride,
etc. will damage the windscreen. Never
allow these products to contact the screen.
