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
overall appearance of a scooter. Fre-
quent and proper care does not only
comply with the terms of the warranty,
but it will also keep your scooter look-
ing 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.
