Clean your motorcycle regularly in order to keep its painted finish looking shiny and new.
The best manner would be to use warm water that has been mixed with a commercially available washing detergent and a
sponge. The hard dirt can be removed before with the help of a soft water jet.
!
CAUTION
!
NEVER CLEAN YOUR MOTORCYCLE WITH A HIGH
-PRESSURED CLEANER OR A HIGH-PRESSURED WATER JET. OTHERWISE THE WATER MIGHT RUN INTO THE
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
, CONNECTORS, SHEATHED CABLES, BEARINGS, CARBURETOR ETC. AND CAUSE MAILFUNCTIONS, I.E., LEAD TO THE
PREMATURE DESTRUCTION OF THESE PARTS
.
– You should use commercially available detergents to clean the motorcycle. Heavily soiled parts should also be cleaned with
the help of a paint brush.
– Befor cleaning with water, plug the exhaust pipe to prevent water ingress.
– After the motorcycle has been rinsed with a soft water jet, it should be dried by air pressure and a cloth. Then take a short
drive until the engine has reached its operating temperature, and also operate the brakes. The heat also causes the water at
the inaccessible parts of the engine and the brakes to evaporate.
– Slide back the protective covers on the handlebar-mounted instruments so that any water that may have seeped into this part
of the motorcycle is allowed to evaporate.
– After the motorcycle has cooled down, oil and grease all the gliding bearing parts. Also treat the chain with a chain spray.
– To prevent failures in the electric system, you should treat the short circuit button with a contact spray.
CLEANING
If you want to put your motorcycle away for longer periods of time, please observe the following instructions:
– Clean motorcycle thoroughly (see chapter: CLEANING)
– Change engine oil (old engine oil contains aggresive contaminations).
– Check antifreeze and amount of cooling liquid.
– Let the engine warm up again, close fuel tap and wait until the engine dies off by itself. In this way, the carburetor jets are
prevented from becoming resin-clogged by the old fuel.
– Remove spark plug and fill in approx. 5 ccm of engine oil into the cylinder through the opening. Actuate kick-starter 10 times
in order to distribute the oil onto the cylinder walls and mount the spark plug.
– Let fuel flow out of tank into an appropriate basin.
– Correct tire pressure.
– Lubricate bearing points of the control levers, foot rests, etc. as well as the chain.
– The storage place should be dry and not be subject to overly great temperature fluctuations.
– Cover the motorcycle with an air permeable tarpaulin or blanket. Do not use non-air-permeable materials, as possible
humidity might not be able to escape and thereby cause corrosion.

CAUTION
!
IT WOULD BE VERY BAD TO LET THE ENGINE RUN FOR A SHORT TIME DURING THE STORAGE PERIOD. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT GET WARMED UP
ENOUGH AND THE THUS DEVELOPED STEAM WOULD CONDENSE DURING THE COMBUSTION PROCESS AND CAUSE THE EXHAUST TO RUST
.
USE AFTER PERIOD OF STORAGE
– Fill up tank with fresh fuel.
– Check motorcycle as before each start (see driving instructions)
– Take a short, careful test ride first.
