• 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 dealer
can help you select the right cover for
your motorcycle.
NOTE:
• Wax all areas of the motorcycle before
storage. This prevents rusting.
• 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
accelerate corrosion.
