CLEANING

Make sure to stop the engine prior to
car washing.
Be careful not to allow water to enter
the muffler during the washing.Water
inside the muffler may cause an
improper engine starting or rust
occurrence.
Do not let water get inside the braking
system during the washing, as water
inside the brake system may weaken the
braking power. Upon completion of
washing, select a safe place where there
is no traffic obstruction, and start the
vehicle.
Lightly apply the brake while driving at
a slow speed and check the braking
power. If the braking power has been
weak-ened, apply brake lightly while
driving at a slow speed to dry up the
brake system.
Take precautions when waxing the
vehicle. Excessive polish of the painted
section and/or the resin part with
compound wax might damage the
painted section causing discoloration of
the affected area.

STORAGE GUIDE

Extended storage, such as for winter,
requires that you take certain steps to
reduce the effects of deterioration from
non-use of the motorcycle.
In addition, necessary repairs should be
made BEFORE storing the motorcycle;
otherwise, these repairs may be forgotten
by the time the motorcycle is removed
from storage.
<STORAGE>
Empty the fuel tank into an approved
petrol container using a commercially
available hand siphon or an equivalent
method.
If storage will last more than one
month, carburetor draining is very
important, to assure proper performance
after storage.
