Cleaning Procedure - HYOSUNG GD250 Owner's Manual

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 radiator
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.
