If you have ridden the vehicle on salted roads, clean it with cold water. Warm water would reinforce the effect of the salt. After rinsing the motorcycle thoroughly with a soft jet of water, dry it with compressed air and a cloth.

The heat produced causes water at inaccessible positions in the engine and the brakes to evaporate. Push back the protection covers on the handlebar instruments to allow water to evaporate. After the motorcycle has cooled off, oil or grease all moving parts and bearings. Clean the chain. ( P.
Conservation for winter operation Info If you use the motorcycle in winter, you must expect salt on the roads. You should therefore take precautions against aggressive road salt. If you have ridden the vehicle on salted roads, clean it with cold water. Warm water would reinforce the effect of the salt.
(less workshop overload). In this way, you can avoid long workshop waiting times at the start of the new season. Make sure the tank is as empty as possible so that you can fill up with fresh fuel when you put the motorcycle back into operation. Clean the motorcycle. ( P.
STORAGE Cover the motorcycle with a porous sheet or blanket. Info Do not use non-porous materials since they prevent humidity from escaping, thus causing corrosion. Avoid running the engine for a short time only. Since the engine cannot warm up properly, the water vapor produced during combustion condenses and causes valves and exhaust system to rust.
