Appearance Care
Exhaust Pipe and Muffler Maintenance
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 121.
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.
Finishing Touches
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 121.
After washing your ATV, consider using a commercially available
spray cleaner/polish or quality liquid or paste wax to finish the job.
Use only a non-abrasive polish or wax made specifically for
motorcycles or automobiles. Apply the polish or wax according to
the instructions on the container. Do not use wax or polishing
compounds on matte painted surfaces.
If a surface on your ATV is chipped or scratched, your dealer has
touch-up paint to match your ATV's color. Be sure to use your ATV's
color code (page 243) when you buy touch-up paint.
If the frame has a chip that exposes the metal, first apply primer (to
prevent corrosion) and then apply the touch-up paint. Several thin
layers of touch-up paint are better than one thick coat.
