Panels
Follow these guidelines to prevent scratches
and blemishes:
Wash gently using a soft sponge and plenty
●
of water.
To remove stubborn stains, use diluted
●
detergent and rinse thoroughly with plenty
of water.
Avoid getting petrol, brake fluid, or
●
detergents on the instruments, panels, or
headlight.
Exhaust Pipe and Muffler
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.
Caring for Your Motorcycle
Then rinse by the same manner as removing
mud or dust.
When the exhaust pipe and muffler are painted,
do not use a commercially available abrasive
kitchen cleaning compound. Use a neutral
detergent to clean the painted surface on the
exhaust pipe and muffler. If you are not sure if
your exhaust pipe and muffler are painted,
contact your dealer.
NOTICE
Even though the exhaust is made of stainless
steel, it can become stained. Remove all marks
and blemishes as soon as they are noticed.
