Washing; Drying; Protecting - Triumph Tiger 800 Owner's Handbook Manual

Maintenance and Adjustment

Washing

Prepare a mixture of cold water and mild
automotive cleaner. Do not use a highly
alkaline soap as commonly
commercial car washes because it leaves a
residue.
Wash the exhaust system with a soft cloth. Do
not use an abrasive scouring pad or steel
wool. They will damage the finish.
Rinse the exhaust system thoroughly.
Ensure no soap or water enters the mufflers.

Drying

Dry the exhaust system as far as possible with
a soft cloth. Do not run the engine to dry the
system or spotting will occur.

Protecting

When the exhaust system is dry, rub
'Motorex 645 Clean and Protect' into the
found at surface.
The use of abrasive cleaners and polishes
will damage the system and must not be
used.
It is recommended that regular protection be
applied to the system as this will both protect
and enhance the system's appearance.
