NOTE:
Clean the fairing and other plastic parts using a cloth or sponge dampened with
o
a solution of mild detergent and water. Rub the soiled area gently rinsing it
frequently with fresh water.
3. Dry the motorcycle, start the engine, and let it run for several minutes.
4. Test the brakes before riding the motorcycle in normal traffic. Several applications
may be necessary to restore normal braking performance.
Braking efficiency may be temporarily impaired immediately after washing the

motorcycle. Anticipate longer stopping distance to avoid a possible accident.
Painted Aluminum Wheel Maintenance
Aluminum may corrode from contact with dirt, mud, or road salt. Clean the wheels after
riding though any of these substances. Use a wet sponge and mild detergent. Avoid stiff
brushes, steel wool, or cleaners containing abrasives or chemical compounds.
After washing, rinse with plenty of water and dry with a clean cloth.
Apply touch-up paint to the wheels where damage has resulted.
