EXHAUST PIPES
Stainless steel exhaust pipes may be sub-
ject to burn marks caused by oil and other
dirt.
• Using kitchen cleaner for stainless steel,
wipe dirt off with a cloth or sponge, rinse
with sufficient water, and then wipe dry
with a dry cloth.
• When burn marks occur, scrub with a
fine compound and then wipe off the dirt.
NOTE: Although exhaust heat may cause
the exhaust pipe to change color, this will
not cause functional problems.
WAXING THE MOTORCYCLE
After washing the motorcycle, waxing and
polishing are recommended to further pro-
tect and beautify the paint.
• Only use good quality waxes and pol-
ishes.
• 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 compounds on sur-
faces which have a matte finish. Doing so
will change the appearance of the matte fin-
ish.
Solid-type waxes may be difficult to remove
from surfaces with a matte finish.
Friction while riding and excessive rubbing
or polishing of a surface with a matte finish,
will change its appearance.
NOTICE
The exhaust pipe, muffler and the engine
become hot when the engine is running
and stay hot after it has stopped. Touch-
ing them at this time may cause burns.
Do not touch the exhaust pipe, muffler or
engine until they have cooled.
