Black Chrome
Items such as headlight bowls and mir-
rors on some models must be correctly
cleaned to preserve their appearance.
Please contact your dealer if you are
unsure which components on your mo-
torcycle are black chrome parts.
Maintain the appearance of black
chrome items by rubbing a small
amount of light oil into the surface.
Cleaning of the 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 fibre components; matt painted
exhaust systems should be cleaned as
above, noting the care instructions in
the Matt Paintwork section previously.
Note:
• The exhaust system must be cool
before washing to prevent water
spotting.
Washing
Wash as previously described.
Make sure that no soap or water enters
the exhausts.
Drying
Dry the exhaust system as far as possi-
ble with a soft cloth or chamois leather.
Do not run the engine to dry the system
or spotting will occur.
Protecting
Caution
The use of products containing silicone
will cause discolouration of the chrome
and must not be used. Similarly, the
use of abrasive cleaners will damage
the system and must not be used.
When the exhaust system is dry, apply
a suitable proprietary motorcycle pro-
tection spray onto the surface, following
the manufacturer’s instructions.
It is recommended that regular protec-
tion be applied to the system as this will
both protect and enhance the system's
appearance.
Seat Care
Caution
Use of chemicals or high pressure
spray washers is not recommended for
cleaning the seat.
Using chemicals or high pressure spray
washers may damage the seat cover.
To help maintain its appearance, clean
the seat using a sponge or cleaning
cloth with soap and water.
