Finishing Touches
After washing your motorcycle, 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
motorcycles or automobiles. Apply the polish or wax
according to the instructions on the container.
Removing Road Salt
The salt contained in the road surface freezing
prevention medicine which a road was sprayed with in
winter, and the seawater becomes the cause which
rust occurs in. Wash your motorcycle by the following
point after it runs through such a place.
1. Clean the motorcycle using cool water (page 67).
Do not use warm water. This worsens the effect of the
salt.
2. Dry the motorcycle and the surface of the metal is
protected with the wax.
Painted Aluminum Wheel Maintenance
Aluminum may corrode from contact with dirt, mud, or
road salt. Clean the wheels af ter riding through 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.

STORAGE GUIDE

Extended storage, such as for winter, requires that you
take certain steps to reduce the effects of deterioration
from non-use of the motorcycle. In addition, necessary
repairs should be made BEFORE storing the motorcycle;
otherwise, these repairs may be forgotten by the time the
motorcycle is removed from storage.

Storage

1. Change the engine oil and filter.
2. Empty the fuel tank into an approved petrol
container using a commercially available hand
siphon or an equivalent method. Spray the inside of
the tank with an aerosol rust-inhibiting oil.
Reinstall the fuel fill cap on the tank.
To assure proper performance after storage lasting more
than one month, it is important to drain the carburetor.
