CLEANING

Cleaning the vehicle is very important especially if it is
used in special areas or conditions such as:
- coastal areas with a high salt level;
- winter periods in areas where de-icing chemicals and/or
salt are used on the roads;
- areas where resinous plants grow;
- especially dusty areas.
Make sure that all dead insects, tar spots, bird droppings,
etc. are removed from the bodywork.
CAUTION*:
Before washing the motorcycle:
- the engine must be cold;
- you must carefully protect the following
parts from water by covering the open-
ings with cloths or plastic bags:
1) Rear opening of the muffler;
2) Air box air intakes;
- Wash the motorcycle with a low-pressure water jet to re-
move any dust and mud. The bodywork must be cleaned
with a soft sponge and a water and bodywork shampoo
solution.
- After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with low pressure run-
ning water.
