Care

Plastics

Clean plastic parts with water

and BMW plastic care emul-

sion. This includes in particu-

lar:

– Windshields

– Headlight lens made of

plastic

– Covering glass of the instru-

ment cluster

– Black, unpainted parts

If plastic parts are

cleaned using unsuitable

cleaning agents, the surfaces

can be damaged.

Do not use cleaning agents

that contain alcohol, solvents

or abrasives to clean plastic

parts. Even fly-remover pads

or cleaning pads with hard

surfaces can produce

scratches.c

Soften stubborn dirt and

dead insects by covering

the affected areas with a wet

cloth.c

Windshield

Clean off dirt and insects with

a soft sponge and plenty of

water.

Fuel and chemical sol-

vents attack the wind-

shield.

Do not use detergent prod-

ucts.c

Chrome

Especially in the case of road

salt, carefully clean chrome

with plenty of water and BMW

vehicle shampoo. Use chrome

polish for additional treatment.

Paint care

Washing the motorcycle regu-

larly will help counteract the

long-term effects of sub-

stances that damage the

paint, especially if your motor-

cycle is ridden in areas with

high air pollution or natural

sources of dirt, e.g. tree resin

or pollen.

However, remove particularly

aggressive materials immedi-

ately; otherwise changes in

the paint or discoloration can

occur. These include spilt fuel,

oil, grease, brake fluid and bird

droppings. BMW vehicle pol-

ish or BMW paint cleaner are

recommended here.
