not apply water jets in them.
MOTORCYCLE CLEANING
Clean your motorcycle regularly in
order to maintain the beauty of its
plastic surfaces and avoid corrosion.
The best manner would be to use warm
water that has been mixed with a
normal brand-name washing detergent
and a sponge. The hard dirt can be
removed before washing with the help
of a soft water jet.
! CAUTION !
When cleaning your motorcycle
with a high-pressured cleaner or a
high-pressured water jet never
point directly to electrical
components, switches, relays and
electric connectors, headlight
lamps, air filter, control cables, oil
radiator, mufller’s hole, steering
stem and wheels bearings.
When water penetrates in these
components, can cause oxidation
or corrosion and bad electric
contacts, causing operations mal-
functions or lead to premature
destruction of these parts.
- Use regular brand-name detergents to
clean the motorcycle. Especially dirty
parts should be cleaned additionally
with the help of a paintbrush.
- Before cleaning with water, plug the
exhaust pipe to prevent water going
inside.
- After the motorcycle has been cleaned
with a soft water jet, it should be dried
with air pressure and a cloth. Take a
short drive or let engine running in idle
until the engine has reached the
working temperature and also use the
brakes. By warming these components,
the residual water can evaporate from
inaccessible parts of engine and
brakes.
- Once the motorcycle has cooled
down, oil or grease all sliding and
bearing points; lubricate chain with
chain spray.
- To avoid any malfunction of the
electric system, you should treat
emergency off button, light switch and
socket connectors with a contact spray.
CONSERVATION FOR
WINTER OPERATION
In the event that the motorcycle is also
used in winter and on roads where one
has to expect salt spraying, you will
have to take precautions against the
aggressive road salt.
- Clean motorcycle thoroughly and let it
dry after each riding.
- Treat engine, carburettor, swing arm
and all other bare galvanized parts
(except for brake discs) with a wax-
based anti-corrosion agent.
STORAGE PROCEDURES
Should you desire to make a pause
over a long period of time (more than
one month), please observe the
following instructions:
- Clean the motorcycle thoroughly (see
CLEANING).
- Change engine oil and oil filter.
- Remove spark plug and fill in approx.
5ccm of engine oil into the cylinder
through the opening. Actuate kick-
starter 10 times in order to distribute the
oil into the cylinder walls and mount the
spark plug.
- Remove the fuel into an appropriate
container.
- Correct the tyre pressure.
- Lubricate pivot points of control levers,
foot rests, etc. as well as the chain.
- Service the shock absorber linkage.
- Disconnect battery cables from poles.
- Storage place should be dry and not
subject to excessive temperature
fluctuations. – Cover the motorcycle
with a blanket. Do not use air
impermeable materials as a possible
humidity might not be able to escape
and could cause corrosion.
