Matte color caution
NOTICE
Some models are equipped with
matte colored finished parts. Be
sure to consult a Yamaha dealer for
advice on what products to use be-
fore cleaning the vehicle. Using a
brush, harsh chemical products or
cleaning compounds when cleaning
these parts will scratch or damage
their surface. Wax also should not
be applied to any matte colored fin-
ished parts.

Care
Frequent, thorough cleaning of the ve-
ECA15193
hicle will not only enhance its appear-
ance but also will improve its general
performance and extend the useful life
of many components. Washing, clean-
ing, and polishing will also give you a
chance to inspect the condition of the
vehicle more frequently. Be sure to
wash the vehicle after riding in the rain
or near the sea, because salt is corro-
sive to metals.
Special care in winter
NOTICE
In cold weather, when roads may be
salted as a de-icing method, it's im-
portant to clean the vehicle thor-
oughly to remove road salt and
avoid corrosion. Wheel spokes,
bolts/nuts and other unpainted met-
al parts can be especially vulnerable
to corrosion from road salt. Apply an
anti-corrosion product to any vul-
nerable parts after washing and dry-
ing the vehicle.

TIP
The roads of heavy snowfall areas
may be sprayed with salt as a de-
icing method. This salt can stay on
the roads well into spring, so be
sure to wash the underside and
chassis parts after riding in such
areas.
Genuine Yamaha care and main-
tenance products are sold under
the YAMALUBE brand in many
markets worldwide.
See your Yamaha dealer for addi-
tional cleaning tips.
