CLEANING
Clean your vehicle regularly. Your vehicle will
look better and work better if you keep it clean.
You will find you will need to clean it more
frequently if it is used in the following
conditions:
– Polluted areas (cities and industrial areas).
– Areas characterized by a high percentage
of salinity and humidity (sea areas, hot and
humid climates).
– Particular conditions (use of salt and anti-
ice chemical products on the roads during
the winter).
Do not allow contaminants such as
industrial dust, tar spots, dead insects, bird
droppings, etc. to remain on the painted
portions of your vehicle. They will very
quickly etch into and damage the paint.
Do not park your vehicle under trees, since
some trees ooze resins that contain
chemicals which can damage the paint.
WARNING
After your vehicle has been washed,
brake functioning will be temporarily
impaired because of the wetness of the
discs and pads. Do not ride in traffic
until after you have dried the brakes by
repeated braking from slow speed.
After washing your vehicle, always
carry out the preliminary checking
operation, see page 67 (PRE-RIDE
CHECKS CHART).
CAUTION
To clean the lights, use a sponge
soaked with water and a neutral
detergent, rubbing the surfaces
delicately and rinsing frequently with
plenty of water.
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: 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, gasoline or solvents
to clean rubber parts, plastic parts, and
the seat. Use only clear water and mild
soap.
WARNING
Do not apply any protective coating to
the seat. Such coatings tend to make
the seat too slippery.
