Cleaning your Motorcycle
• For maintaining the original shine on metal parts
surface and painted parts surface, wash and clean
your motorcycle at regular intervals depending on
usage and particular road conditions.
• Use only specific products. Avoid aggressive
detergents and solvents.
• Use only water and natural soap to clean glass
and the seat.
• To prevent stains, do not wash the vehicle
immediately after it has been exposed to strong
sunlight and do not wash it in the sun.
• If the parts of the engine are unusually dirty or
greasy, use a de-greasing agent while taking care
of transmission components (like chain, front and
rear sprockets, etc.).
• Transmission components can be rinsed with
warm water and dried with clean dry cloth.
Never clean the motorcycle using hot or high pressure
water jets. Cleaning the motorcycle with high pressure
water jet may lead to serious problems in front fork,
wheel assemblies, brakes, electrical systems, inlet and
exhaust systems which will result in reduced safety.
Caution
• Clean the radiator regularly. Use a hose with low
water pressure to clean the radiator fins blockage.
This prevents the engine from overheating due to
insufficient cooling. Care should be taken not to
damage the radiator fins during cleaning.
There may be a loss of braking efficiency immediately
after washing the motorcycle. Greasing or lubricating the
brake discs leads of loss of braking. Oil-free solvent to
be used for cleaning the brake discs.
The headlamp may be get fogged up after washing, rain
or moisture. Switch ‘ON’ the headlamp for a short period
of time to dry any condensation.
Maintain minimum distance of 60 cm between the
water jet nozzle and the vehicle. Do not direct the jet
onto electrical component and connectors.
