Do not use alcohol, petrol or solvents to clean plas-
tic or rubber parts or the saddle.
NOTE: to clean the external parts of the engine
only, use a degreasing detergent, brushes and
cloths, see LUBRICANTS table.
Using a high-pressure water jet could damage cer-
tain vehicle parts.
Use a low-pressure water jet to rinse the vehicle
thoroughly and in particular the dirtiest parts. Us-
ing a soft sponge for the bodywork, wipe over the
whole vehicle.
Rinse the vehicle thoroughly, always using a
low-pressure water jet. Dry with a clean chamois
leather.
RULES FOR END OF WASHING
Braking efficiency could be reduced after washing,
since brake disks and pads are wet.
It is therefore advisable to dry the disks well and
wait for the pads to dry, after which proceed with
caution and repeatedly try out the brakes.
Only after meticulous and thorough washing
should you proceed with polishing using silicone
wax.

Do not use abrasive pastes on the vehicle, since
they ruin flat varnishes.
Do not apply protective wax on the braking
parts,disks and pads, as it could affect their oper-
ation.
Do not apply it on the saddle either, as it could
make it slippery and therefore be the cause of a fall.
INACTIVITY
If the vehicle is not going to be used for several
months, it is advisable:
- to clean and protect the painted parts by applying
special waxes;
- to drain all the fuel from the tank, close the tap
and make sure there is none in the float chamber.
To do this, close the tank tap and start the vehicle.
Wait for it to cut out on its own;
- remove the spark plug and pour a spoonful of oil
for two-stroke engines into the cylinder. Replace
the spark plug and use the kick starter to spread oil
over the walls of the cylinder;
- periodically check the tyre pressure;
- lubricate the chain;
- cover the end of the exhaust pipe with a bag and
tie it tightly to prevent humidity from entering;
- cover the vehicle with a sheet (in cotton or wool
or other breathable material) that is large enough
to fully cover it but without touching the ground.
AFTER A PERIOD OF INACTIVITY
- Uncover and wash the vehicle, see (CLEANING).
- Fill the fuel tank, see (FUEL).
- Carry out the preliminary checks, see (PRELIMI-
NARY CHECKLIST).
Do a test run of a few kilometres at a moderate
speed in an area with no traffic.
