Cleaning |
|
|
|
1)Preparation for washing |
|
|
Before washing, precautions must be taken to keep water off the following parts: |
|
|
Rear opening of the mufflers - Cover with plastic bags secured with rubber bands. |
|
|
Clutch and brake levers, handgrips?Cover with plastic bags. |
|
|
lgnition switch - Cover the keyhole with tape. |
|
|
Air cleaner intake - Close up the openings with tape, or stuff in rags. |
|
|
2)Where to be careful |
|
|
Avoid spraying water with any great force near the following places: |
|
|
Speedometer and tachometer |
|
Rear hub |
|
If water gets inside the rear hub, the rear brake will not function until it dries out. |
|
Under the fuel tank and the seat |
|
If water gets into the ignition coils or into a spark plug cap, the spark will jump through the water and be |
|
grounded out. When this happens, the motorcycle will not start and the affected parts must be wiped dry. |
|
3)After washing |
|
Remove the plastic bags, and clear the air cleaner intakes. |
|
Test the brakes before motorcycle operation. |
|
Lubricate the chain immediately to keep it from rusting. |
|
|
Lubrication |
|
|
In order to get maximum length of use from all parts and to keep the motorcycle running safely, it must be kept properly lubricated. |
|
Using SAE 30 motor oil, lubricate the points indicated whenever they are dry, after riding through rain, or after washing the motorcycle. Grease the places indicated with regular cup grease at least 6 months or 3,000 km (2,000 mi). |
|
After several thousand kilometers of service, in addition to the points shown here, other parts should be inspected and lubricated by a Kawasaki Dealer. |
