Exhaust Pipe and Muffler
The exhaust pipe and muffler are stainless steel but
may become stained by mud or dust.
To remove mud or dust, use a wet sponge and a
liquid kitchen abrasive, then rinse well with clean
water. Dry with chamois or a soft towel.
If necessary, remove heat stains by using a
commercially available fine texture compound. Then,
rinse by the same manner as removing mud or dust.
If the exhaust pipe and muffler are painted, do not
use a commercially available abrasive kitchen
cleaning compound. Use a neutral detergent to clean
the painted surface on the exhaust pipe and muffler.
If you are not sure if your exhaust pipe and muffler
are painted, contact your dealer.
NOTICE
Even though the exhaust is made of stainless
steel, it can become stained. Remove all marks
and blemishes as soon as they are noticed.
Front fork
Mud and dust may accelerate wear on the front
forks and cause oil leaks.
To avoid scratching, please handle the forks
with the following care.
Wash gently using a soft sponge and plenty
●
of water.
To remove stubborn stains, use diluted
●
detergent and rinse thoroughly with plenty
of water.
