off any detergent residue using
plenty of water, as it is harmful
to plastic parts.
 Do not use any harsh chemical
products on plastic parts. Be
sure to avoid using cloths or
sponges which have been in
contact with strong or abrasive
cleaning products, solvent or
thinner, fuel (gasoline), rust re-
movers or inhibitors, brake fluid,
antifreeze or electrolyte.
 Do not use high-pressure wash-
ers or steam-jet cleaners since
they cause water seepage and
deterioration in the following ar-
eas: seals (of wheel and swing-
arm bearings, fork and brakes),
8
electric components (couplers,
connectors,
switches and lights), breather
hoses and vents.
 For vehicles equipped with a
windshield: Do not use strong
cleaners or hard sponges as
they will cause
scratching. Some
compounds for plastic may
leave scratches on the wind-
shield. Test the product on a
small hidden part of the wind-
shield to make sure that it does
not leave any marks. If the wind-
shield is scratched, use a quality
plastic polishing compound af-
ter washing.
NOTICE
Use care when cleaning the radiator.
High-pressure washers may dam-
age the radiator fins. Do not spray
the radiator fins at an angle, and al-
ways keep the nozzle at least 50 cm
(20 in) away from the spins when
spraying.
After normal use
Remove dirt with warm water, a mild
instruments,
detergent, and a soft, clean sponge,
and then rinse thoroughly with clean
water. Use a toothbrush or bottlebrush
for hard-to-reach areas. Stubborn dirt
and insects will come off more easily if
the area is covered with a wet cloth for
dulling or
a few minutes before cleaning.
