Protective wax coating

To preserve the finish of your

vehicle, BMW Motorrad recom-

mends using BMW Car Wax or

agents that contain carnauba or

synthetic waxes.

When water fails to form beads

on the paint surface this indicates

it is time to apply wax.

Storing motorcycle

Clean the motorcycle.

Remove battery.

Spray brake and clutch lever,

and main and side stand pivots

with a suitable lubricant.

Coat bare metal and chrome-

plated parts with an acid-free

grease (e.g. Vaseline).

Park motorcycle in a dry room

so that both wheels are un-

loaded.

Before putting the motor-

cycle into storage, have

the engine oil and the oil filter

element changed by a special-

ist workshop, preferably an au-

thorized BMW Motorrad retailer.

Combine work for storing/return-

ing to use with maintenance ser-

vice or an inspection.

Returning motorcycle
