MAINTENANCE
90
Do not use alcohol, petrol or solvents to clean plastic or rubber parts or the saddle.
To clean the external parts of the engine only, use a degreasing detergent, brushes and cloths, see LUBRICANTS
table.
Using a high-pressure water jet could damage certain vehicle parts.
Use a low-pressure water jet to rinse the vehicle thoroughly and in particular the dirtiest parts. Using a soft sponge for the
bodywork, wipe over the whole vehicle.
Rinse the vehicle thoroughly, always using a low-pressure water jet. Dry with a clean chamois leather.
Rules for end of washing
Braking efficiency could be reduced after washing, since brake disks and pads are wet. It is therefore advisable to dry the
disks well and wait for the pads to dry, after which proceed with caution and repeatedly try out the brakes.
Only after a scrupulous and thorough washing it is possible to proceed with the polishing phase with silicone waxes. Do not
use abrasive pastes on the vehicle, since they ruin flat varnishes.
Do not apply protective wax on the braking parts, disks and pads, as it could affect their operation. Do not apply it on the
saddle either, as it could make it slippery and therefore be the cause of a fall.
