After Washing
Warning
Never wax or lubricate the brake discs.
Always clean the brake disc with a
proprietary brand of oil-free brake disc
cleaner.
Waxed or lubricated brake discs may
cause loss of braking power and an
accident.
After washing the motorcycle, do the
following:
1.
Remove the plastic bags and tape,
and clear the air intakes.
2.
Lubricate the pivots, bolts and nuts.
3. Test the brakes before motorcycle
operation.
4.
Use a dry cloth or chamois leather
to absorb water residue. Do
not allow water to stand on the
motorcycle as this will lead to
corrosion.
5.
Start the engine and run it for
5 minutes. Make sure that there is
adequate ventilation for the exhaust
fumes.
Care of Matt Paintwork
Matt paintwork requires no greater care
than that already recommended for
high gloss paintwork.
•
Do not use any polish or wax on
matt paintwork.
•
Do not try and polish out scratches.
