CLEANING AND CHECKING THE VEHICLE
Use a low-pressure water jet to soften the dirt and mud accumulated on the paintwork,
then remove them with a soft bodywork sponge soaked in water and shampoo (2-4
percent shampoo in water). Rinse generously with water and wipe dry with chamois
leather. For the outside of the engine use a brush soaked in petroleum and clean
rags. Petroleum damages the paintwork. Always wash the vehicle before waxing
it with silicon waxes.
CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE
Detergents pollute the waters. Always wash the vehicle in areas equipped for
the collection and purifi cation of the washing liquids.
Never wash the vehicle in the sun, particularly during the summer when the
bodywork is hot. The shampoo would dry before being rinsed off and cause
damage to the paintwork. Do not clean the plastic surfaces with cloths soaked
in petrol or naphtha as they would lose their shine and mechanical properties.
Water jets can damage the instruments; do not direct the jet towards the
electric parts, especially the LCD display.
CHECKS AFTER CLEANING
After cleaning the motorcycle, it is advisable to:
• Clean the air fi lter (refer to the procedure described on page 54).
• Grease the chain.
