19 CLEANING, CARE 168

– Treat the engine, swingarm, and all other bright and zinc-plated parts (except for the

brake discs) with a wax-based corrosion inhibitor.

Info

Corrosion inhibitor is not permitted to come in contact with the brake discs as

this would greatly reduce the braking force.

– Clean the chain. ( p. 86)
