General Cleaning - Ducati MULTISTRADA 620 Anleitung- Und Instandhaltungsheft

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 only. Prefer biodegradable products.
Avoid aggressive detergents or solvents.
Important
Do not wash your motorcycle right after use.
When the motorcycle is still hot, water drops will
evaporate faster and spot hot surfaces. Never clean
the motorcycle using hot or high-pressure water jets.
Cleaning the motorcycle with water cleaners may lead to
seizure or severe failure of front fork, wheel hub assembly,
electric system, front fork seals, air inlets or exhaust
silencers and adversely affect the operation of
motorcycle safety features.
If needed, clean off stubborn dirt or 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
Loss of braking may occur immediately after washing
the motorcycle. Never grease or lubricate the brake discs.
Loss of braking power and accidents may occur. Clean the
discs with an oil-free solvent.
