Plastics

Clean plastic parts with water

and BMW plastic care emulsion.

This includes in particular:

Windscreen and slipstream de-

flectors

Headlight lens made of plastic

Glass cover of the instrument

If plastic parts are cleaned

using unsuitable cleaning

agents, the surfaces can be dam-

aged.

Do not use cleaning agents that

contain alcohol, solvents or ab-

rasives to clean plastic parts.

Even fly-remover pads or clean-

ing pads with hard surfaces can

produce scratches.

Soften stubborn dirt and

insects by covering the af-

fected areas with a wet cloth.

Windscreen

Clean off dirt and insects with a

soft sponge and plenty of water.

Fuel and chemical solvents

attack the material of the

windscreen; the windscreen be-

comes opaque or dull.

Do not use cleaning agents.

Rubber

Treat rubber components with

products.

Using silicone sprays for

the care of rubber seals can

cause damage.

Do not use silicone sprays or

other care products that contain

silicon.

Washing the motorcycle regularly

will help counteract the long-term

effects of substances that dam-

age the paint, especially if your

motorcycle is ridden in areas

with high air pollution or natural

sources of dirt, for example tree

resin or pollen.

Remove particularly aggressive

substances immediately, how-

ever, as otherwise the paint can

be affected or become discol-

oured. Substances of this nature
