Windscreen
Using plenty of water, clean the windscreen with
a soft cloth or sponge. (Avoid using detergents
or any kind of chemical cleaner on the
windscreen.) Dry with a soft, clean cloth.
NOTICE
To avoid possible scratching or other damage,
use only water and a soft cloth or sponge to
clean the windscreen.
For a dirtier windscreen, use a diluted neutral
detergent with a sponge and plenty of water.
Make sure to wash off all the detergent.
(Detergent residue may cause windscreen
cracks.)
Replace the windscreen if scratches cannot be
removed and they obstruct clear vision.
Take care to keep battery electrolyte, brake
fluid, or other chemical solvents off the
windscreen and screen garnish. They will
damage the plastic.
Caring for Your Motorcycle
Exhaust Pipe and Muffler
The exhaust pipe and muffler are stainless steel
but may become stained by mud or dust.
To remove mud or dust, use a wet sponge and
a liquid kitchen abrasive, then rinse well with
clean water. Dry with chamois or a soft towel.
If necessary, remove heat stains by using a
commercially available fine texture compound. Then
rinse by the same manner as removing mud or dust.
When the exhaust pipe and muffler are painted,
do not use a commercially available abrasive
kitchen cleaning compound. Use a neutral
detergent to clean the painted surface on the
exhaust pipe and muffler. If you are not sure if
your exhaust pipe and muffler are painted,
contact your dealer.
NOTICE
Even though the exhaust is made of stainless
steel, it can become stained. Remove all marks
and blemishes as soon as they are noticed.
