Clean your motorcycle often in order to maintain the appearance of plastic surfaces and avoid corrosion.
The recommended method would be to use a sponge and warm water at 30-35⁰C mixed with a regular washing detergent. The hard dirt can be
removed before washing with the help of a soft water jet.
Recommendations:
― Use a regular cleaning detergent to wash the motorcycle. Especially dirty parts should be cleaned with the help of a brush;
― Before cleaning with water, cover the muffler holes and the air filter cover to prevent water going inside;
― After cleaning with a soft water jet, dry the motorcycle with compressed air and a piece of fabric;
― Take a short drive until the engine reach the operating temperature and use the brakes. Doing this procedure the residual water will
evaporate due the warm parts off engine and brakes;
― Once the motorcycle has cooled down, lubricate all sliding and bearings points. Lubricate as well the chain with a chain spray;
― To avoid any malfunction of the electric system, you should apply spray on the emergency switch, starter motor button, light switch
and connectors with a contact spray.
Never direct a high pressure jet to some sensitive points of motorcycle, such as electronic components (ECU, throttle body sensor,
switches, relays, connectors, controls cables, among others), wheels and steering column bearings.
If water or dust penetrates on those components, oxidation or corrosion might occur, resulting in weak electric contact. This can
lead to motorcycle malfunctions or cause premature damage of those components.
