18.2 Checks and maintenance steps for winter operation
Info
If you use the motorcycle in winter, you must expect salt on the roads. You should therefore take precautions against aggressive
road salt.
If the vehicle was operated in road salt, clean it with cold water after riding. Warm water would enhance the corrosive effects of
salt.

– Clean the motorcycle. ( p. 153)
– Clean the brake system.
Info
After EVERY trip on salted roads, thoroughly wash the brake calipers and brake
linings with cold water and dry carefully. This should be done after the parts are
cooled down and while they are installed.
After use on salted roads, clean the motorcycle thoroughly with cold water and
dry it properly.
– Treat the engine, the swingarm, and all other bare or galvanized parts (except brake
discs) with a wax-based anti-corrosion substance.
Info
To prevent serious reduction of the braking efficiency, make sure no
anti-corrosion substance gets on to the brake discs.
