General Cleaning - Ducati SBK749R 2005 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 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
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.
