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
lead to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
After washing the motorcycle, do the
following:
▼ Remove the plastic bags and tape,
and clear the air intakes.
▼ Lubricate the pivots, bolts and nuts.
▼ Test the brakes before motorcycle
operation.
▼ 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.
▼ Start the engine and run it for
5 minutes. Make sure that there is
adequate ventilation for the exhaust
fumes.
Gloss Paintwork Care
Gloss paintwork should be washed
and dried as described previously,
then protected using a high quality
automotive wax polish. Always follow
the manufacturer’s instructions and
repeat regularly to maintain your
motorcycle’s appearance.
Matt Paintwork Care
Matt paintwork requires no greater care
than that already recommended for
gloss paintwork.
▼ Do not use any polish or wax on
matt paintwork.
▼ Do not try and polish out scratches.
