After Washing

Warning
Never wax or lubricate the brake discs.
Loss of braking power and an accident
could result. Clean the disc with a pro-
prietary brand of oil-free brake disc
cleaner.
Remove the plastic bags and tape, and
clear the air intakes.
Lubricate the pivots, bolts and nuts.
Test the brakes before motorcycle oper-
ation.
Use a dry cloth or chamois leather to
absorb water residue. Do not allow wa-
ter to stand on the motorcycle as this
will lead to corrosion.
Start the engine and run it for 5 min-
utes. Make sure that there is adequate
ventilation for the exhaust fumes.

Care of Gloss Paintwork

Gloss paintwork should be washed and
dried as described above, then protect-
ed using a high quality automotive
polish. Always follow the manufacturer's
instructions and repeat regularly to
maintain your motorcycle's appearance.

Care of Matt Paintwork

Matt paintwork requires no greater care
than that already recommended for
high gloss paintwork.
• Do not use any polish or wax on
matt paintwork.
• Do not try and polish out scratches.
