Owner's Manual
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Clean your motorcycle regularly to protect its painting,
plastic and rubber components, and also to increase
its service life.
When ridden near the ocean, dedicate extra care to
the regular maintenance if the motorcycle was parked
for a long period in places with high humidity and salt,
or if it has not been serviced for a long time. Improper
procedures for the immediate removal of environment
aggressive elements contribute to oxidation and
sulfation processes.
• In case of rain or contact with pluvial water on city
streets or near the ocean, or when crossing streams
and floods, wash the motorcycle and dry it
immediately after the riding. Apply rust-inhibiting
spray to the rims, spokes, shock absorber, exhaust
(also inner part) and other chromed parts.
NOTE
Apply rust-inhibiting spray only with the cold engine.
The excess can be removed after 24 hours.
!
WARNING
Do not apply the rust-inhibiting spray to the area
close to the brake system.
• Eliminate accumulated dust, dirt, mud, sand and
gravel. Remove any incrustation from friction
components such as brake pads and disc to prevent
reducing its efficiency and service life.
• Gravel and sand from the streets may affect painted
surfaces.
• For motorcycle extended storage, refer to the
instructions on page 69 under "Storage Guide".
Washing Equipment
Never use high-pressure water equipment to wash the
motorcycle. Direct water jets and high temperatures
may damage motorcycle components. High pressure
causes the loosening of strips and adhesives, and
removal of steering stem bearing and rear suspension
linkage grease. Paint could also be removed by high
pressure. Do not apply alkaline or acid products. They
are highly harmful to zinc-plated and aluminum parts.
To wash the motorcycle, we recommend spraying
low-pressure water (opened spray shape), at least,
1.2 m (1.3 yd) from the motorcycle.
ATTENTION
• • • • • Solvents and abrasive cleaning products may
damage metal and rubber components, and also
the paint.
• • • • • Chemicals, solvents and detergents should never
be used to clean the motorcycle.
