Cleaning Sensitive Vehicle Parts - BMW S 1000 RR Rider's Manual

To prevent stains, do not wash
the vehicle immediately after
it has been exposed to bright
sunlight and do not wash it in
the sun.
Regularly clean the fork tubes
of contamination.
Make sure that the vehicle
is washed more frequently,
especially during the winter
months and when riding on
salted roads.
ATTENTION
Increased effect of salt
caused by warm water
Corrosion
Only use cold water to re-
move salt deposits.
To remove salt deposits, clean
the vehicle and any add-on
parts with cold water immedi-
ately after completion of every
trip.
After rides in the rain, in
high humidity and after
the vehicle is washed, con-
densation can form inside the
headlight. During this pro-
cess, the headlight can become
foggy for a while. If moisture
accumulates in the headlight
on an ongoing basis, contact a
repair shop, preferably an au-
thorized BMW Motorrad dealer.
