Maintenance and Adjustment
After Washing
Remove the rubber bands, plastic
bags and tape, and clear the air
intakes.
Lubricate the pivots, bolts and nuts.
Test the brakes before motorcycle
operation.
Start the engine and run it for
5 minutes. Ensure adequate
ventilation for the exhaust fumes.
Use a dry cloth to absorb water
residue. Do not allow water to stand
on the machine as this will lead to
corrosion.
Unpainted Aluminium Items
Items such as brake and clutch levers
must be correctly cleaned to
preserve their appearance.
Use a proprietary brand of
aluminium cleaner which does not
contain abrasive or caustic elements.
Clean aluminium items regularly, in
particular after use in inclement
weather, where the components
must be hand washed and dried
each time the machine is used.
Warranty claims due to inadequate
maintenance will not be allowed.
Cleaning of Exhaust System
All parts of the exhaust system of your
motorcycle must be cleaned regularly to
avoid a deterioration of its appearance.
Note:
The exhaust system must be cool
before washing to prevent water
spotting.
Washing
Prepare a mixture of cold water and
mild automotive cleaner. Do not use
a high alkaline content soap as
commonly found at commercial car
washes because it leaves a residue.
Wash the exhaust system with a soft
cloth. Do not use an abrasive
scouring pad or steel wool. They will
damage the finish.
Rinse the exhaust system
thoroughly.
Ensure no soap or water enters the
exhausts.
Drying
Dry the exhaust system completely
with a soft cloth. Do not run the
engine to dry the system or spotting
will occur.
Protecting
When the exhaust system is dry, rub
'Motorex 645 Clean and Protect'
into the surface.
Warning
Never wax or lubricate the brake discs.
Loss of braking power and an accident
could result. Clean the disc with a
proprietary brand of oil-free brake disc
cleaner.
