Cleaning And Lubrication; Wear Parts And Inspection Frequencies - Moustache Lundi 27 Manuel D'utilisation

5.3 CLEANING AND LUBRICATION

After each ride, you should clean your bike with soapy water (washing up liquid is advised
for its powerful degreasing qualities, without being corrosive). However, do not use a high-
pressure hose, as far as possible.
If you cannot clean it otherwise, never direct the jet directly at the bearings and seals, nor at
the motor and the battery.
We also advise you to remove the battery and the on board computer during cleaning, and to
wash them separately using a damp cloth. Dry them with the aid of a soft cloth to eliminate any
drops of water and residues of humidity in order to avoid the risk of corrosion. Doing this will
also enable you to carry out a visual check of the tubes of your bike (useful to check for the
start of any possible cracks).
Before storing your bike away, lubricate the transmission with a product specially designed for
this. Also check the wear on your brakes, any possible buckling of the wheels and for any play.
Beware of the potential risks of being pinched, trapped, or caught and drawn in during
maintenance work.

5.4 WEAR PARTS AND INSPECTION FREQUENCIES

As for any mechanical element, your Moustache bike is subject to high
rates of stress and wear. The different materials and components can
react in different ways to wear or to fatigue. If the envisaged life span of
a component has been passed, this can break suddenly, therefore risking
injury for the rider. Any cracks, scrapes or discoloration in zones subject to
high levels of stress are an indication that the part has passed its usable life
and should be replaced.
Regularly check all wear parts, especially parts for the brakes and the transmission in order
to not take risks. If you have any doubt about the level of wear on any part, please check the
manufacturer's notice or check with your retailer. Prevention is better than cure, so don't wait
till the last moment!
List of the different wear parts:
• Elements of the brakes (pads, discs).
• Tires, inner tubes, rims.
• Cables and cable hoses.
• Elements of the transmission (chain, chain ring, cassette, derailleur tensioner, chain
