CLEANING
Clean your motorcycle regularly to protect
the surface finishes and inspect for damage,
wear, and oil or brake fluid leakage.
Avoid cleaning products that are not
specifically designed for motorcycle or
automobile surfaces.
They may contain harsh detergents or
chemical solvents that could damage the
metal, paint, and plastic on your motorcycle.
If your motorcycle is still warm from recent
operation, give the engine and exhaust
system time to cool off.
We recommend the use of a low pressure
garden hose to wash your motorcycle. High
pressure washers (like those at coin-
operated car washes) can damage certain
parts of your motorcycle.
High pressure water (or air) can damage
certain parts of the motorcycle.
