SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE
7After cleaning
1. Dry the scooter with a chamois or
an absorbing cloth.
2. Use a chrome polish to shine
chrome, aluminum and stainless-
steel parts, including the exhaust
system. (Even the thermally
induced discoloring of stainless-
steel exhaust systems can be
removed through polishing.)
3. To prevent corrosion, it is
recommended to apply a corro-
sion protection spray on all metal,
including chrome- and nickel-
plated, surfaces.
4. Use spray oil as a universal
cleaner to remove any remaining
dirt.
5. Touch up minor paint damage
caused by stones, etc.
6. Wax all painted surfaces.
7. Let the scooter dry completely
before storing or covering it.
EWA00002
•Make sure that there is no oil or
wax on the brakes or tires. If
necessary, clean the brake discs
and brake linings with a regular
brake disc cleaner or acetone, and
wash the tires with warm water
and a mild detergent.
•Before operating the scooter test
its braking performance and
cornering behavior.
Storage
Short-term
Always store your scooter in a cool, dry
place and, if necessary, protect it
against dust with a porous cover.
ECA00015
•Storing the scooter in a poorly
ventilated room or covering it
with a tarp, while it is still wet,
will allow water and humidity to
seep in and cause rust.
•To prevent corrosion, avoid
damp cellars, stables (because
of the presence of ammonia)
and areas where strong
chemicals are stored.
WARNING
ECA00013
•Apply spray oil and wax sparingly
and make sure to wipe off any
excess.
•Never apply oil or wax to any
rubber and plastic parts, but treat
them with a suitable care product.
•Avoid using abrasive polishing
compounds as they will wear
away the paint.

Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-fric-
tion modifiers. Passenger car motor oils (often labeled
“Energy Conserving II”) contain anti-friction additives
which will cause clutch and/or starter cluth slippage,
resulting in reduced component life and poor engine
performance.
