MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE
After cleaning
1. Dry the motorcycle with a chamois or
an absorbing cloth.
2. Use a chrome polish to shine chrome,
aluminum and stainless-steel parts,
including the exhaust system. (Even
the thermally induced discoloring of
stainless-steel exhaust systems can
be removed through polishing).
3. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-
mended to apply a corrosion protec-
tion spray on all metal, including
chrome- and nickel-plated, surfaces.
4. Use spray oil as a universal cleaner
to remove any remaining dirt.
5. Touch up minor paint damage caused
by stones, etc.

6. Wax all painted surfaces.
7. Let the motorcycle dry completely be-
fore storing or covering it.

nering behavior.

CAUTION:
•
Apply spray oil and wax sparingly
and make sure to wipe off any
excess.
•
Never apply oil or wax to any rub-
ber and plastic parts, but treat
them with a suitable care product.
•
Avoid using abrasive polishing
compounds as they will wear away
the paint.
