CLEANING PROCEDURE
A thorough cleaning of your motorcycle is
a necessary part of maintenance and will
help keep your motorcycle looking and
performing its best. Proper cleaning can
also extend the life of your motorcycle.
It is important to clean and inspect your
motorcycle after every ride if it is used in
mud, brush, grass, water, salt water, or very
dusty conditions.
The build-up of mud, brush, grass, etc,
especially on the engine and exhaust
system, can reduce engine cooling, conceal
damage, or increase wear of certain parts. It
is important to remove all debris during
cleaning.
CAUTION
High pressure washers can damage
your motorcycle. (especially the oil
cooler pin)
High pressure washers such as those
found at coin-operated car washes have
enough pressure to damage the parts of
your motorcycle. It may cause rust,
corrosion and increase wear.
Do not use high pressure washers to
clean your motorcycle.
★ ★ WASHING YOUR motorcycle
With some care, your motorcycle can be
washed in a similar manner to washing an
automobile.
N O T E

over the following places :
● ● Spark plug

soap or detergent and water. Try to
thoroughly remove all dirt and debris without
