General cleaning To preserve the original shine on metal surfaces and paintwork, wash and clean your motorcycle at regular intervals depending on the type of use and according to the particular road conditions. Use specific products, where possible biodegradable. Avoid aggressive detergents or solvents. Warning There may be loss of braking efficiency immediately after washing the motorcycle. Never grease or lubricate the brake discs. This will cause loss of braking efficiency. Clean the discs with an oil-free solvent. E Important Do not wash your motorcycle immediately after use, as marks can form due to evaporation of the water on hot surfaces. Never clean the motorcycle using hot or high-pressure water jets. Cleaning the motorcycle with high-pressure water cleaners may lead to seizure or serious faults in the front fork, wheel hub assembly, electrical system, front fork seals, air inlets or exhaust silencers, and consequently impair safety. If parts of the engine are unusually dirty or greasy, use a degreasing agent, avoiding contact with transmission components (chain, front and rear sprockets, etc.). Rinse with warm water and dry all surfaces with chamois leather. Warning When cleaning the seat, avoid rubbing it too hard and the use of alcohol or other types of solvent; only use water to clean the rear of the seat with the logo. The use of cleaning agents other than water could cause discoloration or removal of the paint. 62

General cleaning
To preserve the original shine on metal surfaces and
paintwork, wash and clean your motorcycle at regular
intervals depending on the type of use and according
to the particular road conditions. Use specific products,
where possible biodegradable. Avoid aggressive
detergents or solvents.
Important
Do not wash your motorcycle immediately after use,
as marks can form due to evaporation of the water on
hot surfaces.
Never clean the motorcycle using hot or high-pressure water
jets. Cleaning the motorcycle with high-pressure water
cleaners may lead to seizure or serious faults in the
front fork, wheel hub assembly, electrical system,
front fork seals, air inlets or exhaust silencers, and
consequently impair safety.
If parts of the engine are unusually dirty or greasy, use a
degreasing agent, avoiding contact with transmission
components (chain, front and rear sprockets, etc.).
Rinse with warm water and dry all surfaces with
chamois leather.
Warning
There may be loss of braking efficiency
immediately after washing the motorcycle.
Never grease or lubricate the brake discs. This will cause
loss of braking efficiency.
Clean the discs with an oil-free solvent.
Warning
When cleaning the seat, avoid rubbing it too hard and
the use of alcohol or other types of solvent; only use water
to clean the rear of the seat with the logo. The use of
cleaning agents other than water could cause discoloration
or removal of the paint.
