Removing Road Salt

The salt contained in the road surface
freezing prevention medicine which a road
was sprayed with in winter, and the
seawater becomes the cause which rust
occurs in.
Wash your motorcycle by the following
point after it runs through such a place.
1. Clean the motorcycle using cool water
(page 96 ).
Do not use warm water.
This worsens the effect of the salt.
2. Dry the motorcycle and the surface of the
metal is protected with the wax.
