Maintenance and Adjustment
Unpainted Aluminium Items
Items such as brake and clutch levers, wheels,
engine covers, engine cooling fins, 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 aluminium parts.
Use a proprietary brand of aluminium
cleaner.
Clean aluminium 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.
Black Chrome Items
Items such as headlight bowls and mirrors 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 black
chrome parts.
Maintain the appearance of black chrome
items by rubbing a small amount of light oil
into the surface.
Windscreen Cleaning (if fitted)
Clean the windscreen with a solution of mild
soap or detergent and lukewarm water. After
cleaning, rinse well and then dry with a soft,
lint free cloth.
If the transparency of the windscreen is
reduced by scratches or oxidation which
cannot be removed, the windscreen must be
replaced.
Products such as window cleaning
fluids, insect remover, rain repellent,
scouring compounds, petrol or strong
solvents such as alcohol, acetone,
carbon tetrachloride, etc. will damage
the windscreen. Never allow these
products to contact the screen.
Never attempt to clean the windscreen
while the motorcycle is in motion as
releasing the handlebars may cause loss of
vehicle control and an accident.
Operation of the motorcycle with a
damaged or scratched windscreen will
reduce the rider's forward vision. Any such
reduction in forward vision is dangerous
and may lead to an accident.
