19 CLEANING, CARE 19.1 Cleaning the motorcycle 163 Note Material damage Damage and destruction of components by high-pressure cleaning equipment. – When cleaning the vehicle with a pressure cleaner, do not point the water jet directly onto electrical components, connectors, cables, bearings, etc. Maintain a minimum distance of 60 cm between the nozzle of the pressure cleaner and the component. Excessive pressure can cause malfunctions or destroy these parts.
19 CLEANING, CARE 164 Info Use warm water containing normal motorcycle cleaner and a soft sponge. Never apply motorcycle cleaner to a dry vehicle; always rinse the vehicle with water first. If the vehicle was operated in road salt, clean it with cold water. Warm water would enhance the corrosive effects of salt. – After rinsing the motorcycle with a gentle spray of water, allow it to dry thoroughly. – Remove the closure of the exhaust system.
19 CLEANING, CARE 165 Perfect Finish and high gloss polish for paints ( p. 196) Info Do not polish parts that were matte when delivered as this would strongly impair the material quality. – Treat all plastic parts and powder-coated parts with a mild cleaning and care product.

19 CLEANING, CARE 166 – Treat the engine, swingarm, and all other bright and zinc-plated parts (except for the brake discs) with a wax-based corrosion inhibitor. Info Corrosion inhibitor is not permitted to come in contact with the brake discs as this would greatly reduce the braking force. – Clean the chain. ( p.
20 STORAGE 20.1 Storage 167 Info If you want to garage the motorcycle for a longer period, take the following steps. Before storing the motorcycle, check all parts for function and wear. If service, repairs or replacements are necessary, you should do this during the storage period (less workshop overload). In this way, you can avoid long workshop waiting times at the start of the new season. – When refueling for the last time before taking the motorcycle out of service, add fuel additive.
20 STORAGE 168 – Raise the motorcycle with the front wheel stand. ( – Cover the motorcycle with a tarp or similar cover that is permeable to air. p. 79) Info Do not use non-porous materials since they prevent humidity from escaping, thus causing corrosion. Avoid running the engine for a short time only. Since the engine cannot warm up properly, the water vapor produced during combustion condenses and causes valves and exhaust system to rust. 20.

26 STANDARDS 197 JASO T903 MA Different technical development directions required a new specification for 4-stroke motorcycles – the JASO T903 MA Standard. Earlier, engine oils from the automobile industry were used for 4-stroke motorcycles because there was no separate motorcycle specification. Whereas long service intervals are demanded for automobile engines, high performance at high engine speeds are in the foreground for motorcycle engines.
