Refer to Saf ety Precautions
Aluminum may corrode from contact with dirt, mud, or road salt. Clean the
wheels after riding through any of these substances. Use a wet sponge and mild
detergent. Avoid stiff brushes, steel wool, or cleaners containing abrasives or
chemical compounds.
After washing, rinse with plenty of water and dry with a clean cloth.
If the paint is chipped, apply touch-up paint.
Exhaust Pipe And Muffler Maintenance

The exhaust pipe and muffler are stainless steel but may become stained by mud
or dust.
To remove mud or dust, use a wet sponge and a liquid kitchen abrasive, then
rinse well with clean water. Dry with chamois or a soft towel.
If necessary, remove heat stains by using a commercially available fine texture
compound. Then rinse by the same manner as removing mud or dust.
