Finishing Touches
After washing your motorcycle, consider using a
commercially-available spray cleaner/polish or
quality liquid or paste wax to finish the job. Use only
a non-abrasive polish or wax made specifically for
motorcycles or automobiles. Apply the polish or wax
according to the instructions on the container.
Removing Road Salt
Road Salt used on roads during winter and salt from
seawater causes rust. Wash your motorcycle as follows
after it has run through salty water or on roads treated
with Road Salt.
1. Clean the motorcycle using cool water (page 86).
Do not use warm water. This worsens the effect of
the salt.
2. Dry the motorcycle and the surface of the metal is
protected with the wax.
Clean the Mat Painted Surface
Using plenty of water, clean the mat painted surface
with a soft cloth or sponge. Dry with a soft, clean cloth.
Use neutral detergent to clean mat painted surface.
Do not use waxes containing compounds.
