WAXING THE MOTORCYCLE
After washing the motorcycle, waxing
and polishing are recommended to fur-
ther protect and beautify the paint.
• Only use good quality waxes and
polishes.
• When using waxes and polishes,
observe the precautions specified by
the manufacturers.
SPECIAL CARE FOR MATTE FINISH
PAINT
Do not use polishing compounds or
waxes that contain polishing com-
pounds on surfaces which have a matte
finish. Doing so will change the appear-
ance of the matte finish.
Solid-type waxes may be difficult to
remove from surfaces with a matte fin-
ish.
Friction while riding and excessive rub-
bing or polishing of a surface with a
matte finish, will change its appearance.
