• Store your motorcycle in a dry, well-ven-
tilated area. If you often wash your
motorcycle in the garage or if you fre-
quently park it inside when wet, your
garage may be damp. The high humidity
may cause or accelerate corrosion. A
wet motorcycle may corrode even in a
heated garage if the ventilation is poor.
• Cover your motorcycle. Exposure to mid-
day sun can cause the colors in paint,
plastic parts, and instrument faces to
fade. Covering your motorcycle with a
high-quality, “breathable” motorcycle
cover can help protect the finish from the
harmful UV rays in sunlight, and can
reduce the amount of dust and air pollu-
tion reaching the surface. Your Suzuki
dealer can help you select the right
cover for your motorcycle.
MOTORCYCLE CLEANING
WASHING THE MOTORCYCLE
When washing the motorcycle, follow the
instructions below:
1. Remove dirt and mud from the motorcy-
cle with cool running water. You may use
a soft sponge or brush. Do not use hard
materials which can scratch the paint.
2. Wash the entire motorcycle with a mild
detergent or car wash soap using a
sponge or soft cloth. The sponge or cloth
should be frequently soaked in the soap
solution.
NOTE: Clean the motorcycle with cool water
immediately after riding on road salt or
riding along the coast. Be sure to use cool
water because warm water can hasten cor-
rosion.
