Avoid directing water into the air cleaner,
muffler, and electrical parts.
3.
Thoroughly rinse your motorcycle with
plenty of clean water and dry with a soft,
clean cloth.
4.
After the motorcycle dries, lubricate any
moving parts.
u Make sure that no lubricant spills onto
the brakes or tyres. Brake discs, pads,
drum or shoes contaminated with oil will
suffer greatly reduced braking
effectiveness and can lead to a crash.
5.
Lubricate the drive chain immediately after
washing and drying the motorcycle.
6.
Apply a coat of wax to prevent corrosion.
u Avoid products that contain harsh
detergents or chemical solvents. These
can damage the metal, paint, and plastic
on your motorcycle.
Keep the wax clear of the tyres and
brakes.
u If your motorcycle has any mat painted
parts, do not apply a coat of wax to the
mat painted surface.

Washing Precautions
Follow these guidelines when washing:
● Do not use high-pressure washers:
u High-pressure water cleaners can
damage moving parts and electrical
parts, rendering them inoperable.
u Water in the air intake can be drawn into
the throttle body and/or enter the air
cleaner.
● Do not direct water at the muffler:
u Water in the muffler can prevent starting
and causes rust in the muffler.
● Dry the brakes:
u Water adversely affects braking
effectiveness. After washing, apply the
brakes intermittently at low speed to
help dry them.
