Cleaning the titanium muffler
This model is equipped with a titanium
muffler which requires special care.

Use only a soft cloth or sponge and
mild detergent with water to clean the
muffler. This should remove finger-
prints and other oil stains. If necessary,
an alkaline pH cleaning product and
soft brush may be used. However, do
not use abrasive compounds or special
treatments to clean the muffler, as
these will wear away the protective fin-

TIP
The thermally induced discoloring of
the exhaust pipe leading into the titani-
um muffler is normal and cannot be re-
moved.
