5.19 CLEANING
To keep each part of your vehicle in perfect working order, we
advise you to clean it properly.
•
Before cleaning, protect the exhaust pipe and make sure that
the spark plug and the petrol and oil tank caps are properly
closed.
•
For cleaning, never use chemical products, which may spoil
the vehicle paintwork, plastic and rubber components, etc.
1
Avoid using aggressive solvents, which can oxidise metal
parts.
•
An excessive water pressure while cleaning the vehicle may
2
damage its mechanical and electrical components, especially
those on the front side of the vehicle (handlebar, upper fairing,
instrument board, lights, etc.).
•
Avoid high pressure washing, for instance pressurised wash-
3
ing appliances and the like.
•
To correctly clean the windscreen, use a soft, clean cloth or a
sponge soaked in neutral detergent.
•
While cleaning the vehicle, make sure that the cooling sur-
4
face, situated at the back of the front wheel, is not clogged by
mud, paper, leaves, etc. In the presence of dirt, clean with a jet
of water or air at a moderate pressure.
