Cleaning your Motorcycle
For maintaining the original shine on metal parts
surface and painted parts surface, wash and clean
your motorcycle at regular intervals depending on
usage and particular road conditions.

detergents and solvents.
•
Use only water and natural soap to clean glass
and the seat.
•
To prevent stains, do not wash the vehicle
immediately after it has been exposed to strong
sunlight and do not wash it in the sun.
•
If the parts of the engine are unusually dirty or
greasy, use a de-greasing agent while taking care
of transmission components (like chain, front and
rear sprockets, etc.).

Never clean the motorcycle using hot or high pressure
water jets. Cleaning the motorcycle with high pressure
water jet may lead to serious problems in front fork,
wheel assemblies, brakes, electrical systems, inlet and
exhaust systems which will result in reduced safety.
