Vehicle Washing - Baja DX70 Owner's Manual

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 dirt bike with over-pressurized water may cause damage
to some of its components. Therefore, do not 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

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.
2-
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.
