Braking efficiency may be temporarily impaired
immediately after washing the motorcycle.
Anticipate longer stopping distance to avoid a
possible accident.
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 85).
Do not use warm water.
This worsens the effect of the salt.
2. Dry the motorcycle and make sure of the metal
is protected with the wax.
