During transport, the motorcycle must
be firmly secured in an upright position

Place the motorcycle on firm and level

CLEANING PROCEDURE

A thorough cleaning of your motorcycle is
a necessary part of maintenance and will
help keep your motorcycle looking and per-
forming its best. Proper cleaning can also
extend the life of your motorcycle.
It is important to clean and inspect your
motorcycle after every ride if it is used in
mud, brush, grass, water, salt water, or very
dusty conditions.
The build-up of mud, brush, grass, etc,
especially on the engine and exhaust sys-
tem, can reduce engine cooling, conceal
damage, or increase wear of certain parts. It
is important to remove all debris during
cleaning.
High pressure washers can damage
your motorcycle (especially the radiator
pin).
High pressure washers such as those
found at coin-operated car washes have
enough pressure to damage the parts of
your motorcycle. It may cause rust, cor-
rosion and increase wear.
Do not use high pressure washers to
clean your motorcycle.
