After Washing

• Remove the rubber bands, 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
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.

Use of chemicals or high-pressure spray
washers is not recommended for cleaning
the seat. When using chemicals or pressure

To help maintain its appearance, clean the
