WASHING YOUR motorcycle
With some care, your motorcycle can be
washed in a similar manner to washing an
automobile.
N O T E
Avoid spraying or allowing water to flow
over the following places :
Ignition switch
Electric fuel injection system
Brake master cylinders
Rediator fins
Snorkel air intake for air cleaner
Spark plugs
Fuel tank cap
CAUTION
Do not use parts cleaner to throttle body
and fuel injection sensors.
Use a garden hose at low pressure to
remove the majority of dirt or other debris.
Wash your motorcycle by hand with a mild
soap or detergent and water. Try to thor-
oughly remove all dirt and debris without
excessive water pressure. Cloth rags,
washing mitts or cleaning brushes can be
used, be careful with brushes as they may
scratch plastic or painted surfaces. Rinse
the motorcycle thoroughly with clean water.
Dry all areas using a chamois or soft
absorbent cloth.
WAXING THE MOTORCYCLE
After washing the motorcycle, waxing and
polishing are recommended to further pro-
tect and beautify the paint.
Only use waxes and polishes of good
quality.
When using waxes and polishes,
observe the precautions specified by the
manufacturers.
INSPECTION AFTER CLEANING
Remove the rags or wrapping from the
exhaust pipe. For extended life of your
motorcycle, lubricate according to
"GENERAL LUBRICATION" section.
WARNING
Operating the motorcycle with wet
brakes can be hazardous.
Wet brakes may not provide as much
stopping power as dry brakes. This
could lead to an accident.
Test your brakes washing motorcycle,
riding at slow speed. If necessary, apply
brakes several times to let friction dry
out the pads.
Follow the procedures in the "INSPEC-
TION BEFORE RIDING" section to check
your motorcycle for any problems that may
have arisen during your last ride.
