Aluminum Items - not
Lacquered or Painted
Items such as brake and clutch levers,
wheels, engine covers, engine cooling
fins, upper and lower yokes and
throttle bodies 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 aluminum parts not
protected by paint or lacquer, and for
guidance on how to clean those items.
Use a proprietary brand of aluminum
cleaner which does not contain abrasive
or caustic elements.
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.
Warranty claims due to inadequate
maintenance will not be allowed.
Chrome and Stainless Steel
Care
All chrome and stainless steel parts
of your motorcycle must be cleaned
regularly to avoid a deterioration of its
appearance.
Washing
Wash as previously described.
Drying
Dry the chrome and stainless steel
parts as far as possible with a soft cloth
or chamois leather.
Protecting
NOTICE
The use of products containing
silicone will cause discoloration of the
chrome and stainless steel parts and
must not be used.
The use of abrasive cleaning products
will damage the finish and must not be
used.
When the chrome and stainless steel is
dry, apply a suitable proprietary chrome
cleaner on to the surface, following the
manufacturer’s instructions.
It is recommended that regular
protection be applied to the motorcycle
as this will both protect and enhance its
appearance.
