General cleaning

E
To preserve the original shine on metal surfaces and
paintwork, wash and clean your motorcycle at regular
intervals depending on the type of use and according to the
particular road conditions. Use specific products, where
possible biodegradable. Avoid aggressive detergents or
solvents.
Only use water and neutral soap to clean the Plexiglas and
the seat.
Clean the aluminium components regularly and by hand. Use
specific detergents for aluminium that do NOT contain
abrasive substances or caustic soda.
Note
Do not use abrasive or steel wool sponges, use only a
soft cloth.
The warranty does not apply to motorcycles where there is
evidence of poor maintenance.
Important
Do not wash your motorcycle immediately after use,
as marks can form due to evaporation of the water on hot
surfaces.
Never clean the motorcycle using hot or high-pressure water
jets.
Cleaning the motorcycle with a high pressure water jet may
lead to seizure or serious faults in the front fork, wheel hub
assembly, electric system, headlight (fogging), front fork
seals, air inlets or exhaust silencers, with consequent loss of
safety.

If parts of the engine are unusually dirty or greasy, use a
degreasing agent, avoiding contact with transmission
components (chain, front and rear sprockets, etc.).
Rinse with warm water and dry all surfaces with chamois
leather.
Warning
There may be loss of braking efficiency immediately
after washing the motorcycle. Never grease or lubricate the
brake discs as this would cause loss of braking
effectiveness.
Clean the discs with an oil-free solvent.

moisture.
Switch headlight on for a short time to dry up any
condensate.
