Where To Be Careful - Triumph Street Triple S 660 cc Owner's Handbook Manual

Where to be Careful

Do not use high pressure spray
washers or steam cleaners.
Use of high pressure spray washers
and steam cleaners may damage
seals, and cause water and steam
to be forced into bearings and other
components causing premature wear
from corrosion and loss of lubrication.
Do not spray any water at all near the
air intake duct.
The air intake duct is normally located
under the rider's seat, under the fuel
tank or near the steering head.
Any water sprayed in this area could
enter the airbox and engine, causing
damage to both items.

may also cause water spotting.
Always use a low alkaline soap to aid
the cleaning process.
