Washing Your Motorcycle with a
Mild Detergent
Refer to
Saf ety Precautions
1. Rinse your motorcycle thoroughly with
cool water to remove loose dirt.
2. Fill a bucket with cool water. Mix in a
mild, neutral detergent, such as dish
washing liquid or a product made
especially for washing motorcycles or
automobiles.
3. Wash your motorcycle with a sponge or
a soft towel. As you wash, check for
heavy grime. If necessary, use a mild
cleaner/degreaser to remove the grime.

4. Clean the windscreen with a soft cloth
or sponge and plenty of water. Dry with
a soft clean cloth. Remove minor
scratches with a commercially available
plastic polishing compound.
Take care to keep brake fluid or
chemical solvents off the fairing. They
will damage the plastic.
5. Clean the headlight, fairing, meter lens
and other plastic parts using a cloth or
sponge dampened with a solution of
mild detergent and water. When
cleaning the plastic headlight lens, use
more care because it will scratch easier
than a glass lens. Rub any soiled area,
gently rinsing it frequently with fresh
water.
