Maintenance and Adjustment
Unpainted Aluminum Items
• Items such as brake and clutch
levers, wheels, engine covers, top
and bottom yokes on some models
must be correctly cleaned to
preserve their appearance. Please
contact your dealer if you are unsure
which components on your
motorcycle are unpainted aluminum
parts.
• Use a proprietary brand of
aluminum cleaner
• Clean aluminum items regularly, in
particular after use in inclement
weather, where the components
must be hand washed and dried
each time the machine is used.
• On Thruxton and Scrambler models
only, additional care is required to
ensure that the finished edges of the
cylinder head fins are cleaned and
dried each time the motorcycle 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. These
instructions can be applied to chrome,
brushed stainless steel and carbon fiber
components alike.
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.
