EXHAUST SYSTEM
Requires regular maintenance, the
more frequent and severe is the riding
of your motorcycle. The silencer fibre in
is interior should be replaced each
3.000 Km or 50 hours of use. If not,
noise level will reach illegal and
disturbing levels.
MOTORCYCLE CLEANING
Clean your motorcycle oftenly in order
to maintain the beauty of its plastic
surfaces and avoid corrosion. The best
manner would be to use warm water
that has been mixed with a normal
brand-name washing detergent and a
sponge. The hard dirt can be removed
before washing with the help of a soft
water jet.
- Never clean your motorcycle with
an high-pressured cleaner or an
high-pressured water jet. Water
could run into electrical
components, connectors, cables,
bearings, carburettor, etc, can
cause operations mal-functions or
lead to premature destruction of
these parts.
- Use regular brand-name detergents to
clean the motorcycle. Especially dirty
parts should be cleaned additionally
with the help of a paintbrush.
- Before cleaning with water, plug the
exhaust pipe to prevent water going
inside.
- After the motorcycle has been cleaned
with a soft water jet, it should be dried
with air pressure and a cloth. Take a
short drive until the engine has reached
the working temperature and also use
the brakes. By warming these
components, the residual water can
evaporate from inaccessible parts of
engine and brakes.
- Once the motorcycle has cooled
down, oil or grease all sliding and
bearing points; lubricate chain with
chain spray.
- To avoid any malfunction of the
electric system, you should treat
emergency off button, light switch and
socket connectors with a contact spray.
CONSERVATION FOR
WINTER OPERATION
In the event that the motorcycle is also
used in winter and on roads where one
has to expect salt spraying, you will
have to take precautions against the
aggressive road salt.
- Clean motorcycle thoroughly and let it
dry after each riding.
- Treat engine, carburettor, swing arm
and all other bare galvanized parts
(except for brake discs) with a wax-
based anti-corrosion agent.
