Caring for Your Scooter
Frequent cleaning and polishing is important
to ensure the life of your Honda. A clean
scooter makes it easier to spot potential
problems.
In particular, seawater and salts used to
prevent ice on roads promote the formation of
corrosion. Always wash your scooter
thoroughly after riding on coastal or treated
roads.
Washing
Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other
high-temperature parts to cool before
washing.
1. Rinse your scooter thoroughly using a
garden hose to remove loose dirt.
2. If necessary, use a sponge or a soft towel
with mild cleaner to remove road grime.
Clean the windscreen, headlight lens,
a
panels, and other plastic components
with extra care to avoid scratching them.
