a soft cloth or sponge. (Avoid using detergents
or any kind of chemical cleaner on the

NOTICE
To avoid possible scratching or other damage,
use only water and a soft cloth or sponge to
clean the windscreen.
Caring for Your Motorcycle
For a dirtier windscreen, use a diluted neutral
detergent with a sponge and plenty of water.
Make sure to wash off all the detergent.
(Detergent residue may cause windscreen
cracks.)
Replace the windscreen if scratches cannot be
removed and they obstruct clear vision.
Take care to keep battery electrolyte, brake
fluid, or other chemical solvents off the
windscreen and screen garnish. They will
damage the plastic.
