washed frequently, especially
during the winter months.
To remove road salt, clean the
Scooter with cold water im-
mediately after the end of the
journey.

pads after vehicle wash,
after riding through water

Apply the brakes in good
time to allow the friction
and heat to dry the brake
discs and brake pads.

fied by warm water
