CLEANING THE VEHICLE AND INACTIVITY
It is a good rule to clean the vehicle periodically to keep its parts in good condition. If the vehicle is used in the following
conditions, more frequent washing is recommended:
– Coastal areas or areas with a hot and humid climate in which the humidity and salinity in the atmosphere are higher than
normal.
– Roads or areas where salt or chemical products are used to melt snow and ice.
– Roads or areas where there are industrial dusts or patches of tar
– Sporting use and off road riding.
– Presence on the vehicle body of dead insects, bird droppings, etc.
It is advisable not to stop or park the vehicle under plants or trees. In some seasons certain plants and trees release residues,
resins, fruits or leaves containing harmful substances (in particular harmful for the bodywork).
Rules for washing
Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight, especially in summer, when the body is still warm since the detergent would dry
before rinsing and could thus damage the paintwork.
Do not use liquids at a temperature over 40°C to clean the plastic parts of the vehicle.
Before washing the vehicle, protect the saddle with a suitable cover to prevent water penetration.
Do not direct high-pressure air (or water) jets or steam jets onto the following parts:
– wheel hubs;
– controls located on the right and left side of the handlebar;
– bearings;
– brake tanks and pumps;
– instruments and indicators;
– silencer outlet;
– steering lock;
– radiator fins;
– fuel filler cap and other caps or plugs;
– lamps;
– electrical connections;
– decals.
