12 Cleaning and caring for your
bike
Risk of Personal Injury and
Material Damage!
Corrosion can damage components of
your bike which are important for safety
so that they are no longer secure. These
components may then brake during ri-
ding and thus result in serious falls.
Corrosion is caused, amongst other
things, by
-salt (e.g. due to salt spreading in winter)
-salty air (e.g in coastal or industrial areas)
-perspiration.
Danger of material damage!
Do not use steam washers. The high pres-
sure water jet can damage your bike.
Good maintenance will increase the life of your bike
and its components. Clean and maintain your bike
regularly.
For wet cleaning, use a gentle water jet or a bucket
of water and a sponge.
Only use clean fresh water or desalinated water.
There are many ways of washing a bike. A proven
cleaning recommendation for a very dirty bike is as
follows:
1. With a gentle water jet, remove large
items of debris such as soil, stones and
sand etc.
2. Let the bike dry o to a certain extent.
3. Spray your entire bike with a suitable
detergent.
With many detergents and if there is only
a low level of soiling, simply spraying and
rinsing o after the specied time for
them to work is sucient.
You can remove stubborn dirt after the
working time, for example, with a radia-
tor paintbrush before rinsing o.
Danger of material damage!
Cleaning, lubrication and preserving
agents are chemical products.
Incorrect use can damage your bike.
Only use products expressly suitable for
bikes.
Ensure that these products do not attack
either paint, rubber, plastic or metal parts
etc. Consult your dealer.
Follow the respective manufacturer‘s inst-
ructions.
4. Rinse the entire bike with a gentle water
jet and allow it to dry.
5. Clean the chain.
Drip a suitable chain cleaner into a clean,
spirit-free cotton cloth and wipe the chain
down. When doing so, slowly operate the
crank against the direction of drive.
Repeat this process as often as possible with
a clean area of the cloth until the chain is
clean.
Drip a suitable chain cleaner into a clean,
spirit-free cotton cloth and wipe the chain
down.
If cleaner remains between the chain
links, the new grease will be immediately
broken down and will be totally ineec-
tive.
Sparingly apply a lubricant suitable for
bicycle chains to the chain links.
Danger of material damage!
Greases for motor cycle chains will gum
up your bike chain and the drive chain
components.
Only use lubricants expressly approved for
use with bike chains.
