CLEANING
Clean your motorcycle regularly to protect
the surface finishes and inspect for damage,
wear and oil leakage.
Avoid cleaning products that are not
specifically designed for motorcycle or
automobile surfaces.
They may contain harsh detergents or
chemical solvents that could damage the
metal, paint, and plastic on your motorcycle.
If your motorcycle is still warm f rom recent
operation, give the engine and exhaust system
time to cool off.
We recommend avoiding the use of high
pressure water spray (typical in coin-operated
car washes).
