Maintenance and Adjustment
Unpainted Aluminium Items
Items such as brake and clutch levers, wheels,
engine covers, 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.
Windscreen Cleaning
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.
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.
Note:
• The exhaust system must be cool
before washing to prevent water
spotting.
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 causing injury
or death.
