Aluminium Items -
not Lacquered or Painted
Items such as brake and clutch levers,
wheels, engine covers, engine cooling
fins, upper and lower yokes and throttle
bodies on some models must be correct-
ly cleaned to preserve their appearance.
Please contact your dealer if you are
unsure which components on your mo-
torcycle are aluminium
protected by paint or lacquer, and for
guidance on how to clean those items.
Use a proprietary brand of aluminium
cleaner which does not contain abrasive
or caustic elements.
Clean aluminium items regularly, in par-
ticular after use in inclement weather,
where the components must be hand
washed and dried each time the ma-
chine is used.
Warranty claims due to inadequate
maintenance will not be allowed.
Cleaning of Chrome and
Stainless Steel Items
All chrome and stainless steel parts of
your motorcycle must be cleaned regu-
larly to avoid a deterioration of its
appearance.
Washing
Wash as previously described.

Drying
Dry the chrome and stainless steel
parts as far as possible with a soft cloth
or chamois leather.
Protecting
The use of products containing silicone
will cause discolouration of the chrome
and stainless steel parts and must not
be used. Similarly, the use of abrasive
cleaners will damage the finish and
must not be used.
When the chrome and stainless steel is
dry, apply a suitable proprietary chrome
cleaner on to the surface, following the
manufacturer's instructions.
It is recommended that regular protec-
tion be applied to the motorcycle as this
will both protect and enhance its ap-
pearance.
