Where to be Careful
NOTICE
Do not use high pressure spray
washers or steam cleaners.
Use of high pressure spray washers
and steam cleaners may damage
seals, and cause water and steam to
be forced into bearings and other
components causing premature wear
from corrosion and loss of lubrication.
NOTICE
Do not spray any water at all near the
air intake duct.
The air intake duct is located under
the rider’s seat, under the fuel tank or
near the steering head.
Any water sprayed in this area could
enter the airbox and engine, causing
damage to both items.
Do not get water near the following
places:
▼ Air and any intake duct
▼ Any visible electrical components
▼ Brake cylinders and brake calipers
▼ Handlebar switch housings
▼ Headstock bearings
▼ Instruments
▼ Oil filler cap
▼ Rear bevel box breather (if fitted)
▼ Rear of headlights
▼ Seats
▼ Suspension seals and bearings
▼ Under the fuel tank
▼ Wheel bearings.
