belongings.

Caring for Your Motorcycle
Do not direct water near the headlight:
●
The headlight's inside lens may fog

temporarily after washing or while riding in
the rain. This does not impact the headlight
function.
Any condensation inside the headlight
u
should dissipate after a few minutes of
running the engine with the headlight(s) on.
However, if you see a large amount of
water or ice accumulated inside the
lens(es), have your vehicle inspected by
your dealer.
Do not use waxes containing compounds on
