Storing Your Motorcycle

Exhaust Pipe and Muffler
The exhaust is made of stainless steel, which
can become tarnished with burn marks if
splattered with oil or other substances when
hot. To remove burn marks, use a mild abrasive
compound. To remove dirt and mud, use a
kitchen cleaning solution for stainless steel and
wash with a soft sponge. Rinse with plenty of
water to remove all residue.
NOTICE
Even though the exhaust is made of stainless steel, it can
become stained. Remove all marks and blemishes as
soon as they are noticed.
