Exhaust Pipe and Muffler
The exhaust pipe and muffler are titanium and
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.
NOTICE
Even though the exhaust is made of titanium and
stainless steel, it can become stained. Remove all
marks and blemishes as soon as they are noticed.

Storing Your Motorcycle

Storing Your Motorcycle
If you store your motorcycle outdoors, you
should consider using a full-body motorcycle
cover.
If you won't be riding for an extended period,
follow these guidelines:
Wash your motorcycle and wax all painted
●
surfaces (except mat painted surfaces). Coat
chrome pieces with rust-inhibiting oil.
Lubricate the drive chain.
●
Place your motorcycle on a maintenance
●
stand and position a block so that both tyres
are off the ground.
After rain, remove the body cover and allow
●
the motorcycle to dry.
