Washing the Motorcycle
1. Rinse the motorcycle thoroughly with
cool water to remove loose dirt.
2. Clean the motorcycle with a sponge or
soft cloth using cool water.
Avoid directing water to muffler outlets
and electrical parts.
3. Clean the fairing, headlight lens and
other plastic parts using a cloth or sponge
dampened with a solution of mild
detergent and water. Rub the soiled area
gently rinsing it frequently with fresh
water.
The rear grab rail is also a plastic part and
can be cleaned in the same manner as
described above.
Take care to keep brake fluid or chemical
solvents off the motorcycle.
They will damage the plastic and painted
surfaces.

The inside of the headlight lens may be
clouded immediately after washing the
motorcycle. Moisture condensation inside
the headlight lens will disappear gradually
by lighting the headlight in high beam. Run
the engine while keeping the headlight on.
