Aluminium Components
Aluminium will corrode from contact with dirt,
mud, or road salt. Clean aluminium parts
regularly and follow these guidelines to avoid
scratches:
● Do not use stiff brushes, steel wool, or
cleaners containing abrasives.
● Avoid riding over or scraping against curbs.
Panels
Follow these guidelines to prevent scratches
and blemishes:
● Wash gently using a soft sponge and plenty
of water.
● To remove stubborn stains, use diluted
detergent and rinse thoroughly with plenty
of water.
● Avoid getting petrol, brake fluid, or
detergents on the instruments, panels, or
headlight.
Windscreen
Except CB500FA
Using plenty of water, clean the windscreen with
a soft cloth or sponge. (Avoid using detergents
or any kind of chemical cleaner on the
windscreen.) Dry with a soft, clean cloth.
NOTICE
To avoid possible scratching or other damage,
use only water and a soft cloth or sponge to
clean the windscreen.
For a dirtier windscreen, use a diluted neutral
detergent with a sponge and plenty of water.
Make sure to wash off all the detergent.
(Detergent residue may cause windscreen cracks.)
Replace the windscreen if scratches cannot be
removed and they obstruct clear vision.
Take care to keep battery electrolyte, brake
fluid, or other chemical solvents off the
windscreen and screen garnish. They will
damage the plastic.
