Painted Aluminum Wheel Maintenance
Aluminum may corrode from contact with
dirt, mud, or road salt. Clean the wheels after
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.
Exhaust Pipe And Muffler Maintenance
The exhaust pipe and muffler is stainless
steel but may become stained by mud or
dust.
To remove mud or dust, use a wet sponge
and a liquid kitchen abrasive, then rinse
well with clean water. Dry with chamois or
a soft towel.
If necessary, remove heat stains by using
a commercially available fine texture
compound. Then rinse by the same manner
as removing mud or dust.

Clean The Windshield
Using plenty of water, clean the windshield
with a soft cloth or sponge. (Avoid using
detergents or any kind of chemical cleaner
on the windshield.) Dry with a soft, clean
cloth.
To avoid possible scratching or other
damage, use only water and a soft cloth or
sponge to clean the windshield.
For a dirtier windshield, use a diluted
neutral detergent with a sponge and plenty
of water. Make sure to wash off all the
detergent. (Detergent residue may cause
windshield cracks.)
Replace the windshield if scratches cannot
be removed and they obstruct clear vision.
Do not let battery electrolyte, brake fluid or
other acid chemicals get on the windshield
and screen garnish. They will damage the
plastic.
