15. Cleaning the Motorcycle
To keep the body and paint in good condition, wash your motor-
cycle often.
The best way to clean your motorcycle is to use warm water
combined with detergent to remove the dirt.
Attention: Do not use high-pressure water to wash the motor-
cycle. Do not point water spray directly at electrical parts, plugs,
cables, bearings, ECU, etc. High pressure water sources will
cause water to enter into secure parts leading to functional failure
and premature aging.
-Use ordinary detergent brands to clean your motorcycle. For the
most difficult areas use a brush to clean.
• Plug the muffler before cleaning, to prevent water from
getting inside the muffler.
• After washing, dry off the motorcycle. Ride for a distance
until the engine has reached a working temperature; mean-
while apply the brake to evaporate the water left inside.
• Since the motorcycle cools down, please grease all the
sliding parts, bearings and oil plug with lubricating oil.
• Protect your electric system to avoid any foreign materials
entering.
When washing the motorcycle, please remove the air cleaner
cover and filter and use foam or cotton to protect the intake
channel.
When washing, block the muffler to avoid water getting into the
muffler and engine.
