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. The use of polishing compounds
will change the appearance of the matte
finish.
Solid type waxes may be difficult to
remove from surfaces with a matte fin-
ish.
Friction while riding, excessive rubbing
or polishing of a surface with a matte
finish will change its appearance.
INSPECTION AFTER CLEANING
For extended life of your motorcycle,
lubricate it according to the GENERAL
LUBRICATION section.
Follow the procedures in the INSPEC-
TION BEFORE RIDING section to check
your motorcycle for any problems that
may have arisen during your last ride.
WARNING
Operating the motorcycle with wet brakes
can be hazardous. Wet brakes may not
provide as much stopping power as dry
brakes. This could lead to an accident.
Test your brakes after washing the
motorcycle, while riding at slow speed.
If necessary, apply the brakes several
times to let friction dry out the linings.
