★ ★ 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
● ● Brake master cylinder
● ● Oil cooler pin
● ● Snorkel air intake for air cleaner
● ● Spark plug
● ● Fuel tank cap
● ● Carburetor
Use a garden hose at low pressure to
remove the majority of dirt or other debris.
Hand wash your motorcycle with a mild
soap or detergent and water. Try to
thoroughly 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.
★ ★ 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 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 after washing
motorcycle, while riding at slow speed. If
necessary, apply brakes several times
to let friction dry out the shoes and
pads.
Follow the
"INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING" section
to check your motorcycle for any problems
that may have arisen during your last ride.
