Finishing Touches
After washing your motorcycle, consider
using a commercially-available spray
cleaner/polish or quality liquid or paste wax
and drying the
to finish the job. Use only a non-abrasive
polish or wax made specifically for
motorcycles or automobiles. Apply the polish
or wax according to the instructions on the
container.
If a surface on your motorcycle is chipped
or scratched, your Honda dealer has touchup
paint to match your motorcycle's colour. Be
sure to use your motorcycle's colour code
(page 47) when you buy touch-up paint.
Removing Road Salt
The salt contained in the road surface
freezing prevention medicine which a road
was sprayed with in winter, and the seawater
becomes the cause which rust occurs in.
Wash your motorcycle by the following point
after it runs through such a place.
1. Clean the motorcycle using cool water
(page 74).
Do not use warm water.
This worsens the effect of the salt.
