Regular cleansing and paintwork care is part of the maintenance work and helps to maintain the value of your motorcycle.
Never clean your motorcycle with a high-pressured cleaner or a high-pressured water jet. The water could otherwise run into the electrical
components, connectors, sheathed cables, bearings, carburetor etc. and cause disturbings or lead to a premature destruction of these parts.
– Before you wash your motorcycle, close the muffler openings.
– Use warm water with a commercial detergent and sponge. Coarse dirt can be removed with a soft water jet. Areas that are heavily soiled
can be sprayed with a motorcycle cleaner (e.g. Motorex 900) and cleaned with a brush.
– 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 the working temperature and also use the brakes. Due to the heat, the water also evaporates at the unapproach-
able parts of the engine and the brakes.
– 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 or lubricate all of the friction bearings and bearing positions and treat the chain with chain
spray. Treat all bare areas (except brake disks) with a corrosion inhibitor (e.g. Motorex Protect & Shine).
– The exhaust pipes and mufflers are made of stainless steel and should be treated with a suitable care product.
– To prevent the electric system from malfunctioning, treat the ignition lock, emergency off switch, combination switch and connectors
with contact spray.
– Treat all painted parts with a mild paint care product (e.g. Motorex Moto Polish or Clean & Polish).
