E General cleaning To preserve the finish of metal parts and paintwork, wash and clean your motorcycle at regular intervals, anyway according to the road conditions you ride in. Use specific products, where possible biodegradable. Avoid aggressive detergents or solvents. 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 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 a high pressure water jet may lead to seizure or serious faults in the front fork, wheel hub assembly, electrical system, headlight (fogging), front fork seals, air inlets or exhaust silencers, with consequent loss of safety. Clean off stubborn dirt or exceeding grease from engine parts using a degreasing agent. Be sure to avoid contact with drive parts (chain, sprockets, etc.) Rinse with warm water and dry all surfaces with chamois leather. Important The headlight might fog up due to washing, rain or moisture. Switch headlight on for a short time to dry up any condensate. Warning 106

To preserve the finish of metal parts and paintwork, wash
and clean your motorcycle at regular intervals, anyway
according to the road conditions you ride in. 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 a high
pressure water jet may lead to seizure or serious faults in the
front fork, wheel hub assembly, electrical system, headlight
(fogging), front fork seals, air inlets or exhaust silencers, with
consequent loss of safety.
Clean off stubborn dirt or exceeding grease from engine
parts using a degreasing agent. Be sure to avoid contact with
drive parts (chain, 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
The headlight might fog up due to washing, rain or
moisture.
