Caring for Your Scooter

Caring for Your Scooter
Frequent cleaning and polishing is important to
ensure the life of your Honda. A clean scooter
makes it easier to spot potential problems.
In particular, seawater and salts used to prevent
ice on roads promote the formation of corrosion.
Always wash your scooter thoroughly after riding
on coastal or treated roads.
Washing
Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other
high-temperature parts to cool before washing.
1. Rinse your scooter thoroughly using a low
pressure garden hose to remove loose dirt.
2. If necessary, use a sponge or a soft towel with
mild cleaner to remove road grime.
Clean the headlight lens, panels, and other
u
plastic components with extra care to avoid
scratching them. Avoid directing water into
the air cleaner, muffler, and electrical parts.

3. Thoroughly rinse your scooter with plenty of
clean water and dry with a soft, clean cloth.
4. After the scooter dries, lubricate any moving
parts.
Make sure that no lubricant spills onto the
u
brakes or tyres. Brake disc, pads, drum or
shoes contaminated with oil will suffer
greatly reduced braking effectiveness and
can lead to a crash.
5. Apply a coat of wax to prevent corrosion.
Avoid products that contain harsh
u
detergents or chemical solvents. These can
damage the metal, paint, and plastic on
your scooter.
Keep the wax clear of the tyres and brakes.
If your scooter has any mat painted parts,
u
do not apply a coat of wax to the mat
painted surface.
