Washing
Prepare a mixture of cold water and
mild automotive cleaner. Do not use a
highly alkaline soap as commonly found
at commercial car washes because it
leaves a residue.
Wash the motorcycle with a sponge or
soft cloth. Do not use abrasive scouring
pads or steel wool. They will damage the
finish.
Rinse the motorcycle thoroughly with
cold water.
