WARNING
Polish with silicone wax only after having
carefully washed your vehicle.
Do not use polishing pastes on matt
paints.
Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight,
especially during the summer, when the
paintwork is still warm, since if the
shampoo dries before being rinsed away,
it can damage the paint.
Do not use solvents or water hotter than
40°C to clean the plastic components of
the vehicle.
Never use a high pressure washer, a
steam cleaner, or an air augmented water
jet to clean your vehicle, especially the
wheel hubs, handlebar controls, brake
reservoirs and cylinders, instruments,
electrical components or exhaust
silencer.
Such cleaning machinery will force water
into critical portions of your vehicle,
which could damage your vehicle through
corrosion or short circuiting.
Do not use alcohol or gasoline or
solvents to clean the rubber parts, the
plastic parts, and the saddle, use only
clear water with a mild soap.
Do not apply any protective coating to the
saddle, such coatings tend to make the
saddle too slippery.
To remove dirt and mud from the painted
surfaces, use a low pressure water hose.
Carefully wet the dirty parts and remove mud
and dirt with a soft car sponge. You may use
proprietary car shampoos (2-4% parts of
shampoo in clear water), to make this easier.
Carefully flush so that no dirt or girt remains
on the paintwork, and dry with a clean
chamois or clean terry towel.
To clean the engine and other non-painted
parts, use a mild solvent and a bristle brush,
along with plenty of rags.
After washing the vehicle, always:
KEEP POLLUTING SUBSTANCES AND
COMPONENTS AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
DISPOSE OF POLLUTING SUBSTANCES
AND COMPONENTS PROPERLY.
PERIODS OF EXTENDED
STORAGE
Certain precautions must be taken to prevent
the negative effects cause by not using the
vehicle.
In addition, make sure to carry out all repairs
and perform an overall check before putting
the vehicle away, since otherwise you may
forget to do them later.
Proceed as follows:
♦ Remove the spark plug, see page 72
(SPARK PLUG).
♦ Pour a teaspoon (5 -10 cm
3
) of motor oil
into the cylinder.
NOTE Place a clean cloth on the cylinder
near the spark plug seat, to protect it from
any oil spatters.
