6.15. Cleaning the motorcycle
Periodic careful cleaning is a key fac-
tor in preserving the value of the
motorcycle, protecting its surface fin-
ish and checking for damages, wear
and leakage of corrosive fluids.
CAUTION
Before washing the vehicle,
stop up the exhaust pipes
and protect the electrical
parts.
WARNING
Do not wash your motorcycle
soon afterwards riding. Attend a
few minutes to allow the engine
and the exhaust pipes to thor-
oughly cool.
CAUTION: Never use washing systems involving
steam or high pressure water jets. These systems
could cause water infiltration and damage the inter-
nal parts of your motorcycle.
INFORMATION: Spilling detergent can cause environ-
mental pollution. Therefore, you should clean your
motorcycle in an area equipped for collection and
disposal of washing fluids.
