Care

ECA15193 Frequent, thorough cleaning of the ve-
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.
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.
 See your Yamaha dealer for addi-
tional cleaning tips.
NOTICE
Improper cleaning can cause cos-
metic and mechanical damage. Do
not use:

steam-jet cleaners. Excessive
water pressure may cause wa-
ter seepage and deterioration of
wheel bearings, brakes, trans-
mission seals and electrical de-
vices.
