CLEANING
Clean the vehicle frequently if it used in
particular areas or conditions, such as:
◆
Polluted areas (cities and industrial are-
as).
◆
Areas characterized by an high percent-
age of salinity and humidity (sea areas,
hot and humid climates).
◆
Particular conditions (use of salt and
anti-ice chemical products on the roads
during the winter).
◆
Avoid leaving deposits of industrial and
polluting powders, tar spots, dead in-
sects, bird droppings, etc. on the body.
◆
Avoid parking the vehicle under trees,
since in some seasons residues, resins,
fruits or leaves fall down, which contain
substances that may damage the paint.
!
WARNING
After the vehicle has been washed, its
braking functions could be temporarily
impaired because of the presence of
water on the grip surfaces. Calculate
long braking distances to avoid acci-
dents. Brake repeatedly to restore nor-
mal conditions.
Carry out the preliminary checking op-
erations, see p. 33 (PRELIMINARY
CHECKING OPERATIONS).
To remove dirt and mud from the painted
surfaces use a low- pressure water jet,
carefully wet the dirty parts, remove mud
and filth with a soft car sponge impregnat-
ed with a lot of water and shampoo (2
√
4%
parts of shampoo in water).
Then rinse with plenty of water and dry with
chamois leather.
To clean the outer parts of the engine use
a degreaser, brushes and wipers.
!
CAUTION
Polish with silicone wax only after hav-
ing carefully washed the vehicle.
Do not use polishing pastes on matt
paints.
Do not wash the vehicle under the sun,
especially during the summer, when the
body is still warm, since if the shampoo
dries before being rinsed away, it can
damage the paint.
Do not use liquids at a temperature ex-
ceeding 40°C to clean the plastic com-
ponents of the vehicle
Use neither high pressure water / air
jets, nor vapour jets on the following
parts: wheel hubs, controls on the right
and on the left side of the handlebar,
bearings, brake pumps, instruments
and indicators, silencer exhaust, glove /
tool kit compartment, ignition switch /
steering lock.
Do not use alcohol, petrol or solvents to
clean the rubber and plastic parts, the
saddle, the plates and decals: use only
water and mild soap.
!
WARNING
Do not apply protection waxes onto the
saddle, in order not to make it too slip-
pery.
