Removing Road Salt

Road Salt used on roads during winter and
salt from seawater causes rust.
After riding on these conditions:
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 133).
Do not use warm water.
This worsens the effect of the salt.
2. Dry the motorcycle and make sure the
metal is protected with the wax.
