Care of paintwork
The long-term effects of mater-
ials that are damaging to paint
can be prevented by regular
vehicle washes, particularly if
your vehicle is ridden in areas
susceptible to high levels of air
pollution or natural contamination,
for example tree resin or pollen.
Particularly aggressive materials,
however, should be removed
immediately, otherwise changes
to or discolouration of the paint
can result. These include, for
example, spilled fuel, oil, grease,
brake fluid or bird excrement.
For this, we recommend
BMW Motorrad solvent cleaner
followed by BMW Motorrad gloss
polish for preservation.
Contamination of the paint
surface can be seen particularly
clearly after a vehicle wash.
These areas should be cleaned
immediately using benzine or
spirit, applied with a clean cloth
or cotton pad. BMW Motorrad
recommends that tar spots
be removed using BMW tar
remover. The paint should then
be preserved in these areas.
Vehicle preservation
If water no longer rolls off the
paint, the paint must be pre-
served.
For paint preservation,
BMW Motorrad recommends
the use of BMW Motorrad gloss
polish or agents containing
carnauba wax or synthetic wax.
Laying up the
motorcycle
Cleaning the motorcycle.
Fill the motorcycle's fuel tank.
Removing battery (
226).
Spray the brake and clutch
lever pivots and the main and
side stand pivots with a suit-
able lubricant.
Preserve bright metal and
chrome-plated parts with an
acid-free grease (e.g. Vaseline).
