Care
While the open design of a scooter re-
veals the attractiveness of the technol-
ogy, it also makes it more vulnerable.
Rust and corrosion can develop even if
high-quality components are used. A
rusty exhaust pipe may go unnoticed on
a car, however, it detracts from the
over-
all
appearance of
a
scooter.
Frequent and
proper care does not only comply with
the terms of the warranty, but it will also
keep your scooter looking
good,
extend
its life and optimize its performance.
Before cleaning
1.
Cover the muffler outlet with a plas-
tic bag after the engine has cooled
down.
2.
Make sure that all caps and cov-
ers as well as
all
electrical couplers
and
connectors,
including the spark
plug cap, are tightly installed.
3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt,
like oil burnt onto the crankcase,
with a degreasing agent and a
brush,
but never apply such
prod-
ucts onto
seals,
gaskets and wheel
axles.
Always rinse the dirt and
degreaser off with
water.
Cleaning
c
C
ECA10780
Avoid using strong acidic wheel
cleaners, especially on spoked
wheels.
If
such
products are used
on hard-to-remove dirt, do not
leave the cleaner on the affected
area any longer than instructed.
Also,
thoroughly rinse the area
off with
water,
immediately dry it,
and then apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray.
Improper cleaning can damage
windshields, cowlings, panels
and other plastic
parts.
Use only
a
soft,
clean cloth or sponge with
mild
detergent and water to clean
plastic.
Do not use any harsh chemical
products
on
plastic
parts.
Be
sure
to avoid using cloths or sponges
which have been in contact with
strong or abrasive cleaning prod-
ucts,
solvent or thinner, fuel
(gasoline), rust removers or in-
hibitors,
brake
fluid,
antifreeze or
electrolyte.
Do not use high-pressure wash-
ers or steam-jet cleaners since
they cause water seepage and
deterioration in the following ar-
eas:
seals (of
wheel
and
swingarm bearings, fork and
brakes), electric components
(couplers, connectors, instru-
ments,
switches and lights),
breather hoses and vents.
For scooters equipped with a
windshield: Do not use strong
cleaners or
hard
sponges as they
will cause dulling or scratching.
Some cleaning compounds for
plastic may leave scratches on
the windshield. Test the product
on a small hidden part of the
windshield to make sure that it
does not leave any marks. If the
windshield is scratched, use a
quality plastic polishing com-
pound after washing.
