Vehicle maintenance
All parts of a scooter are equally at risk of corrosion because of aggressive pollutants
in the air and from the effects of salt on the road. It is the responsibility of the user to
adequately protect the vehicle from these factors. This will help to maintain the value of
the vehicle and any warranty claims.
1. Clean painted chassis parts with finish restorer and treat the rubber parts with special
rubber care products.
2. Clean the vehicle regularly (do not use a high pressure cleaner).
3. Clean aluminium parts with a protective spray (e.g. Motoplast) in order to prevent
oxidation. Carefully remove existing spots of corrosion on aluminium with appropriate
steel wool containing soap.
4. Always oil or grease frame and metal parts. This reduces corrosion.
5. Never remove insects with an insect sponge or any similarly hard object.
6. A vehicle that is constantly parked outdoors must be covered with a protective cover-
ing in order to prevent weathering of painted panels, as well as to prevent cracking of
seats and other plastic parts.
7. Do not use a high pressure cleaner!!
Water particles could lead to contact problems in the electronics.
8. Seats, instrument panels, indicators, rear light and weather protection screens as well
as hardened dirt and insects are to be cleaned with an insect remover, not with an insect
sponge as this can result in scratches.
