GENERAL INFORMATION

Clean the motorcycle regularly to retain the beauty of the plastic parts.
Use warm water with a commercial detergent and a sponge. Coarse dirt can be removed with a soft water jet.
CAUTION: never clean the motorcycle with a power washer or a high pressure jet. This will cause the
water to reach the electric components, socket connectors, cables, bearings, carburetor, etc. and
will cause these parts to malfunction or break.
Only use commercial detergents to clean the engine. Use a brush to clean any heavily soiled areas.
Before you start cleaning, close the exhaust pipe to prevent water from penetrating.
–After cleaning the motorcycle thoroughly with a soft water jet, dry with compressed air and a soft cloth. Drain
the float chamber in the carburetor. Take a short ride until the engine reaches the operating temperature,
applying the brakes while driving. The heat will cause the water to evaporate from the inaccessible engine and
brake areas.
–Slide back the protection covers on the handlebar instruments to allow water that has penetrated to
evaporate.
After the motorcycle has cooled down, oil or grease all of the sliding and bearing points. Treat the chain with
chain spray. Oil the fuel tap.
–To prevent defects in the electric system, apply contact spray to the emergency stop switch, the short-circuit
button, the light switch and the socket connector.
If the motorcycle is used during the winter where roads will be spread with salt, precautions must be taken to
protect the motorcycle against the aggressive road salt.
Clean the motorcycle thoroughly and allow to dry after each ride.
–Treat the engine, carburetor, swing arm and all other bare or galvanized parts (except the brake disks) with a
wax-based anti-corrosion agent.
WARNING: do not allow any anti-corrosion agent to get on the brake disks since this will significantly
reduce the braking effect.
CAUTION: clean the motorcycle with cold water and dry thoroughly after driving on salted roads.
If your motorcycle is to be immobilized for a longer period of time, proceed as follows:
–Clean the motorcycle thoroughly.
Change the engine oil, the short and the long oil filter (old engine oil contains aggressive impurities).
Check the quantity of antifreeze and coolant.
–Allow the engine to warm up, close the fuel tap and wait until the engine stalls. Open the drain plug on the
float chamber to allow any remaining fuel to drain.
Remove the spark plug and fill approx. 5 cm
3
of engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole.
Actuate the kickstarter 10 times to distribute the engine oil over the cylinder wall and mount the spark plug
again.
Set the piston in the compression position to close the valves.
Drain the fuel from the tank into a suitable vessel.
Check the tire air pressure.
–Oil the bearing points on the control levers, footrests, chain, etc.
–Dismount and charge the battery.
The storage site should be dry and not have any extreme fluctuations in the temperature.
Cover the motorcycle with a permeable cover or blanket. Do not use impermeable material since it will not
allow any moisture to escape and cause corrosion.
CAUTION: Do not briefly run the engine of an immobilized motorcycle since the engine will not
become warm enough and any vapor produced during the combustion process will condense and
cause corrosion.
STARTING UP AFTER IMMOBILIZATION
Connect the charged battery (check for correct polarity).
Fill fresh fuel into the tank.
Inspect the motorcycle as you would before each start-up (see Driving Instructions)
Go on a short, cautious test ride
