VEHICLE WASHING
Cleaning the vehicle regularly can slow down the color fading of its body and make it
easier to check if there is any damage and any oil leakage.
CAUTION
Washing the motorcycle with over-pressurized water may cause damage to some
of its components. Therefore, do use a pressure washer to clean the vehicle. The
following parts should be cleaned using low pressure water:
— Wheel hub
— Exhaust pipe
— Fuel tank and lower portion of cushion
— Carburetor
— Head lock and ignition switch
— Meters
After pre-wiping, the vehicle should be washed with clean water to remove dirty
residues so as to prevent corrosion. Plastic subassemblies should be cleaned
by wiping with a cloth or foam soaked in neutral detergent solution, followed by
washing with clean water.
After the cleaned vehicle is air dried, grease the chain and run the engine at idling
speed for a few minutes.
Prior to driving, carefully check the braking system repeatedly and repair or adjust it
if necessary.
