Washing your scooter
1. Rinse the scooter thoroughly with cool water to
remove loose dirt.
2. Clean the scooter with a sponge or soft cloth using
cool water. Avoid directing water to muffler outlets
and electrical parts.
3. Clean the plastic parts using a cloth or sponge
dampened with a solution of mild detergent and
water. Rub the soiled area gently rinsing it frequently
with fresh water. Take care to keep brake fluid or
chemical solvents off the scooter. They will damage
the plastic and painted surfaces.
NOTE: The inside of the headlight lens and the
speedometer lens may be clouded immediately
after washing the scooter or in a rain. Moisture
condensation inside the headlight lens and the
speedometer lens will disappear gradually by heat
from the headlight. After washing, run the engine
while keeping the headlight on to dissipate the
condensation.
MAINTENANCE
4. After cleaning, rinse the scooter thoroughly with
plenty of clean water. Strong detergent residue can
corrode alloy parts.
5. Dry the scooter start the engine, and let it run for
several minutes.
6. Test the brakes before riding the scooter. Several
applications may be necessary to restore normal
braking performance.
NOTE: Due to water on the brake components,
braking efficiency may be temporarily impaired
immediately after washing the scooter. Anticipate
longer stopping distance to avoid a a possible
accident.
Finishing touches:
After washing your scooter, consider using a
commercially-available spray cleaner/polish or
quality liquid or paste wax to finish the job. Use
only a non-abrasive polish or wax made
specifically for scooter or automobiles. Apply the
polish or wax according to the instructions on the
container.
