If your vehicle has leather
accessories, special care must
be taken. Use a leather cleaner/
treatment to clean and care for leather
accessories. Washing leather parts
with detergent and water will damage
them, shortening their life.
Vinyl parts should be washed with
the rest of the vehicle, then treated with
a vinyl treatment.
The sidewalls of tires and other
rubber components should be treated
with a rubber protectant to help prolong
their useful life.
Where to be Careful
Avoid spraying water with any great
force near the following places.

caliper.
ÿ Under the rider’s seat - if water gets
into the fuse box or battery, it can
ground out the spark. When this
happens the vehicle will not operate
properly and the aected parts must
be wiped dry.
