Washing
1. Rinse off any degreaser and spray
10
down the vehicle with a garden
hose. Use only enough pressure
to do the job. Avoid spraying wa-
ter directly into the muffler, instru-
ment panel, air inlet, or other inner
areas such as underseat storage
compartments.
2. Wash the vehicle with a quality au-
tomotive-type detergent mixed
with cool water and a soft, clean
towel or sponge. Use an old tooth-
brush or plastic-bristle brush for
hard-to-reach places. NOTICE:
Use cold water if the vehicle has
been exposed to salt. Warm wa-
ter will increase salt's corrosive
properties.
3. For windscreen-equipped vehi-
cles: Clean the windscreen with a
soft towel or sponge dampened
such as with water and a pH neutral deter-
gent. If necessary, use a high-
instructions. quality windscreen cleaner or pol-
ish for motorcycles. NOTICE:

to clean the windscreen. Addi-
tionally, some cleaning com-
pounds for plastic may scratch
the windscreen, so be sure to
test all cleaning products before
general application.
4. Rinse off thoroughly with clean
water. Be sure to remove all deter-
gent residues, as they can be
harmful to plastic parts.

1. Dry the vehicle with a chamois or
absorbent towel, preferably mi-
crofiber terrycloth.
2. For drive chain-equipped models:
Dry and then lubricate the drive
chain to prevent rust.
3. Use a chrome polish to shine

moved through polishing.
4. Apply a corrosion protection spray
on all metal parts including
chrome or nickel-plated surfaces.
WARNING! Do not apply sili-
cone or oil spray to seats, hand
grips, rubber foot pegs or tire
treads. Otherwise these parts
will become slippery, which
could cause loss of control.
Thoroughly clean the surfaces
of these parts before operating
the vehicle.
